If it is possible to replace a comma in a given sentence with a period, and wind up with two sentences that are each complete and that make sense as sentences, then the comma that you replaced was being used to splice together two sentences. This is generally a bad idea.
A comma splice is such a comma, when it collects two independent clauses are connected by only a comma. The following example illustrates a comma splice: the job is hard, get some rest.
A sentence splice (alternately, comma splice) is when 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma. This is not grammatically correct. To fix a sentence splice, you can either change the comma to a semicolon, or you can add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
A comma splice is the attempt to join two independent clauses with a comma without a coordinating conjunction. For example, "She walked the dog last night, today she fed it."
If a sentence consists of two independent clauses with a comma between them, it is a comma splice. That is, the part before the comma can stand on its own as a sentence, and the part after the comma can also stand on its own as a sentence, then it is a comma splice. If there is no punctuation there instead of a comma, it is known as a run-on sentence.
A comma splice is when two independent clauses are joined by a comma without a proper conjunction or punctuation. For example: "I went to the store, I bought some bread."
He won, he had the best score. This is an incorrect or comma splice sentence -- two distinct ideas joined incorrectly by a comma. Either rewrite as two sentences, or change the comma to a semicolon.
A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are connected without proper punctuation or conjunctions. A comma splice, on the other hand, happens when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined with a comma but without a coordinating conjunction. Both errors result in choppy or confusing sentences.

A sentence splice (alternately, comma splice) is when 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma. This is not grammatically correct. To fix a sentence splice, you can either change the comma to a semicolon, or you can add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
A comma splice joins two independent clauses - a no-no. An independent clause is one that can stand alone as a sentence. When two independent clauses are next to each other, you have only two choices: you can either join them, or you can separate them. you can join them with a coordinator word, such as but, if, therefore. You can separate them with end-point punctuation (;, - )
Comma-splice
It's called a run-on comma splice.
