So the rule is to put a comma before a conjunction, in this case and, when it separates two independent clauses. But what if the writer prefers the brisk smoothness of not putting that comma in, in certain cases? For example:
He shoots them a deadly glance and they eventually get a grip on themselves.
Is that kind of rule-breaking okay?
Thanks.
