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 "we went to the bar they had a lot of beer there" is a run-on (and also quite short). slap a semicolon in it and it's fine.

@chaosprime Oh no, that's certain. It is confusing for a lot of students to grasp. But the line I just read could easily be broken up. -
@SugarxBomber ahh gotcha. don't suppose i could trouble you to transcribe it?

@chaosprime It's a megalisting of every reason why Jupiter feels her shouldn't help Cupid from Apuleius. Commas instead of semi-colons. -
@SugarxBomber ahh, k. (fun!) prolly the proximate issue is comma splices. those are more popular in the canon anyhow. - 1 more reply
