      You can write a whole book with just one sentence if the sentence is right-branching. Run-on sentence “rule” is more of an advice for beginners.

      It’s a perfectly good and legible sentence and conveys people having an excited conversation. It gives you no break.

        These replies are mega cope. It’s not slightly incorrect, just incorrect or very lazy. It’s mentally exhausting to try and read this way, and they do not capitalize beginning of their ‘sentences’, nor ‘I’, etc.

        Writing in this way does not make one come off as the next e. e. cummings, they just look very uneducated.

      alright so sometimes people write things incorrectly to convey emotions. Run on sentences imo express exasperation and absurdity much better than proper sentencing.

      Tbh, just because I’m capable of writing well, doesn’t mean I always do, especially online. If OOP is an english teacher it’s a bit concerning since not making it a run-on sentence would just be better storytelling, but otherwise eh.
