We're taught to avoid run on sentences because it's not "proper" English, but then you read classics w/huge paragraphs in only 3 sentences.
@SugarxBomber they're very likely not run-ons. the problem is that very few teachers know what a run-on actually is.

@SugarxBomber it's any sentence where independent clauses are just jammed together without a coordinating conjunction. - 3 more replies
