Sentences/errors.

Few sentences here; I'm not sure about. I think there are some errors.

1 Is this a comma splice.

2 can like be used in this way, as I think it's missing a semi colon.

3 can 'like' be used in this way; in a contrast linking the clauses.

4 Type of clause 'not only'.


(1)Every time I close my eyes I remember his laughter, his infectious smile.

(2) Glad to be seeing the end of those choreographed dances for the first dance, oh, and the best man speech like an award winning performance from usually unassuming, quiet chaps.

(3) So it just means one divided by two, like you divide one candy bar between two people.

(4)Not only was the warrior female type being generated by Western media, the Japanese would forge hundreds of female warriors and soldiers.

1 Is this a comma splice. No. A comma splice uses a comma to join two independent clauses.

2 can like be used in this way, as I think it's missing a semi colon. It's OK as written. It's in the form of casual speech. The 'oh' is just an interjection. 'Like' here means 'resembling'.

3 can 'like' be used in this way; in a contrast linking the clauses. Yes. The meaning
