Perhaps the most frequent misuse of the comma is the placing of a comma between two independent clauses without a coördinating conjunction. "The sun rose, therefore, light began flooding my bedroom," for example, is a comma splice (a type of run-on sentence) because a comma cannot join the two independent clauses. To fix the problem, the first comma in that sentence could be changed to a semicolon, or the first comma could be changed to a period and the t in thereforecapitalized.
