✨Comma Splice
🔻A comma splice occurs when you divide two complete clauses with a comma. Although we may use this phrasing when we speak, it is always a mistake when you write.
🔸Hand me the salt and pepper, the eggs are bland. ✘
🔸You sat on my pastry, now I can’t eat it. ✘
🔸The birds come to the feeder every day, I have to refill it
constantly. ✘
🔻When two clauses are related, they should be joined by a comma
and a conjunction, or divided by either a semicolon or a period (if they belong in two separate sentences). If you examine the incorrect examples, you will notice that—in addition to the solution of using either a semicolon or a period—you might alternatively try using a conjunction such as because, so, or and.
🔹You sat on my pastry, so now I can’t eat it. ✔️
🔹You sat on my pastry; now I can’t eat it. ✔️
➕Bonus:
🔻Although a semicolon is a handy replacement in a comma splice for related clauses, one should never separate unrelated clauses with a semicolon.
🔹The birds come to the feeder every day; tomorrow I leave for Zimbabwe.
It may have a nice ring to it, but the clauses have nothing to do with each other.

✨The Collective Noun
A collective noun is the name of a group, class, or multitude, and not of a single person, place, or thing.
🔘Examples:
crowd, group, legislature, squadron, sheaf, battalion, squad, Associated Press, Mediterranean Steamship Company, Senior Class, School Board.
The same noun may be abstract in one of its meanings, collective in another.
🔸They believe in fraternity. [Abstract.]
🔸The student joined a fraternity. [Collective.]

Examples:
loss, losses; box, boxes; buzz, buzzes; match, matches; rush, rushes.
2. Many nouns ending in (-o) preceded by a consonant also take the ending -es in the plural.
Examples:
hero, heroes; cargo, cargoes; potato, potatoes; motto, mottoes; buffalo, buffaloes; mosquito, mosquitoes.
3. Nouns ending in (-o) preceded by a vowel form their plural in -s: as,—cameo, cameos; folio, folios.

banjo
bravo
burro
