DON'T USE YOUR FINGER

- Dear Teachers,

1. Next time when talking to me, don't use your finger to point at me, it's very impolite, is that clear?

- Is this ok to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

You have a comma splice. You've connected three sentences into one by putting commas between them. You need to separate the sentences by punctuating correctly.

It's grammatically correct, but it's pretty severe, all the same! It sounds angry.
