Is the following correct?

"You expect and deserve the best, so that is what we strive to provide."

chris2010Shouldn't this be "You expect and deserve the best – so that is what we strive to provide."

As written, it doesn't seem to make much semantic sense in my opinion. Perhaps: You demand and deserve the best, that's what we stride to provide..."

The original sentence makes perfect sense; there is no reason to change the words.
Your sentence

If you take the rewording as an advertizing slogan perspective, "demand" is a stronger and more sensible choice. When I commented that it didn't make semantic sense in the original sentence, it was because " so that" was incorrectly applied to the context.

Perhaps: You demand and deserve the best, that's what we stride to provide..

grammarfreakMaybe a semicolon, but if this an illegal splice, I'd like to hear from others.

You demand and deserve the best, that's what we strive to provide.

Yes, it's an illegal splice.

Thanks CJ. Would you accept a "dash" or a semicolon for a comma? Or simply make them independent ?

Semicolon or two sentences. Those are the two best solutions to the comma-splice problem.

If it were up to me, I'd just use two sentences in this case.

Thanks CJ!
