Hi.
Can we join two independent clauses with a comma and without a coordinating conjunction?
eg I won't let you down, I can assure you of that.
Top answer
eg I won't let you down, I can assure you of that. No, but it is sometimes done for stylistic effect. What may be acceptable in novels or in casual writing is not always acceptable in formal writing and in exams.
