She would always listen to music on hot 102fm radio.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br>&nbsp;online info: The comma splice is one of the most frequent mistakes made when using a comma. The comma splice occurs when a comma is used to connect two independent clauses.&nbsp;<br><br><br></div><div>Definition of Comma Splice&nbsp;</div><div>A comma splice is known as a grammatical error, or a misuse of commas. It occurs in a <a href="https://literarydevices.net/sentence/">sentence</a> when an author inserts a comma incorrectly between two main (independent) clauses to separate them. Two main clauses can be joined with a comma or a <a href="https://literarydevices.net/conjunction/">conjunction</a>. For instance, in the example “The air was soggy, the season was exhausted” (<em>Hub Fans Bid The Kid Adieu</em>, by John Updike), the sentence can be corrected by using either a period or the conjunction “and” to separate the two independent clauses.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

If you have already used one, you do not need another one. “You don’t need to have exclamation points all throughout your content to convince people to be excited.
