Both comma splice and fused sentence are <em>writing errors</em> that occur when we try <em>to join two independent clauses (</em> it has a subject and a verb and presents a complete thought)
Fused sentence occurs when we join two independent clauses without any punctuation ( I love books my favorite book is<em> The Catcher in the Rye</em> ).
Comma splice occurs when we join two independent clauses with a comma, like in the given sentence. To fix this error, we can: put a <em>semicolon</em> (<em>No one likes a bully; He has no friends.</em> ) or a<em> period</em> between these two sentences (<em>No one likes a bully. He has no friends.</em> ) or <em>add a conjunction </em>(<em>No one likes a bully so he has no friends.</em>)
