Comma splice occurs when you use comma to join two complete sentences without placing appropriate joining word between them . Comma splice definition when two independent clauses are smashed together in single sentence without adequate punctuation. Comma splice is important because it’s interferes with efficient transmission of thought from writer to reader. For example clouds were dark , we thought it would rain . I bought coat , however didn’t fit . Comma splice error occurs when sentences independent clauses are improperly connected by comma alone . Thank you for your wonderful educational literary channel.

0:51 In my textbook, comma splices were called run-on sentences.

[@SWLF]

Interesting! In our experience, a run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are "spliced" together without a proper punctuation mark (a semicolon or a period) or a coordinating conjunction (like "and").
