Friday dinner sounds great, I finish work at 630PM.

Should there be a comma or period or semi-colon?

In standard English, use a period or a semi-colon. Don't fill your page with semi-colons. Clive

Yes, but you didn't tell me if I should use a comma, period, or semi-colon for the sentence in question.

I meant Use a period or semi-colon in what you wrote. Not a comma.

Hello Clive, What about this sentence that I saw online:

I gnaw on old tires, it strengthens my jaw so I will be better conditioned for bear combat.

My comment is the same as for your previous sentence.

Such sentences are written in what you might call relaxed, casual English. In terms of grammar, the use of a comma makes them run-on sentences.
