Run-on Sentences, Comma Splices

http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/runons.htm

The first version was -

Everyone expected the sun to set, but the sunset was unexpected.

I took out the but to make it weirder.........

"When two independent clauses are connected by only a comma, they constitute
a run-on sentence that is called a comma-splice..... When you use
a comma to connect two independent clauses, it must be accompanied by a
little conjunction(and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so)".


OK, I will stop now, I need a nap
