reflected Is it correct to say "There is no need of wings to fly, you can use your imagination" Strictly speaking it is a comma splice -- the incorrect use of a comma to join two independent clauses. When the clauses are contrastive, as in this case, the comma splice may be tolerable. To me personally, this example seems borderline.
