comma splicing

Well I never used this rule on my personal statement either, so I'm bound to know how to use a comma correctly right? I just don't feel confident anymore. If I never used this method on my personal statement then it would have declined all of my university offers, and I had received all unconditional and conditional offers.
So that must prove I am using commas correctly?

Hey guys! Basically I've been informed by my previous teacher that I cannot use a comma without using conjunction. I have never came across this rule before! I do feel less confident while using commas now. I don't always feel like using and,but,or,for,so,yet after using a comma as I like to use better words that bring more to my work. I am starting university this year, and to be honest I have never had a problem with punctuation before and all of a sudden my previous teacher told me how I can't use any other word after a comma, unless it's conjunction. She said its comma splicing apparently. -___0

I have never used this rule while at 6th form during completing many essays, and not once have I ever got graded down for not using this method. So is this true? Or can I use a comma sometimes without using conjunction? I am Going to be studying law also, so I'm kind of ****ting myself!


If any of you university students don't use this method while using a coma then please let me know, so I can relax a little bit

To anyone whose mother tongue is English, the proper usage of commas should be obvious. Your teacher is probably very narrow-minded. It's far better to go with what sounds right than to stick to some very restrictive and unhelpful rule.

Well if I do make errors like comma splicing in university then I will get marked down. Omg I feel physically sick I hate making mistakes I'm a perfectionist that's my problem.

Show me how you guys would use commas? My teacher also said I can't put them anywhere. The general rule was put them where you expect to take a breath, and now even that sounds like an error.
