Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other.

  I used both of those elements often, when I feel they express whatever I’ve trying to say. I wanted a slight pause between the two clauses, and felt the comma did that better that your suggestions, which indicate longer pauses.

  It’s not “grammatically incorrect,” it’s just one alternative approach.

    Agree to disagree.

  Commas are better for grammatical structure in my opinion.

  How do you feel about semicolons

    I welcome them when they make grammatical sense. 🙂 I’m also partial as I’m a developer by trade.

      I, as an avid reader, have always tried to depend on semicolons; for when sentences have ended but deserve the epilogue.

      Approved?

        Agreed, but somehow your use of it here still feels off. Like it isn’t necessary at all right there; at least that’s how I feel. The thing that comes after the semicolon needs to be able to stand on its own. Or use it when counting: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries; flour, sugar, and cereal; milk, and cream.
