Comma splices are also acceptable in passages of spoken ( or interior ) dialogue, and are sometimes used deliberately to emulate spoken language more closely.

The only possible exceptions to this are the Great Commission Matthew 28: 16-20, 2 Corinthians 13: 14, and the Comma Johanneum, which many regard as a spurious text passage in First John ( 1 John 5: 7 ) known primarily from the King James Version and some versions of the Textus Receptus but not included in modern critical texts ..

The Comma Johanneum in 1 John 5: 7 is well known example, but there are also other texts like: Matt 10: 8 ; 27: 35 ; Luke 17: 36 ; John 3: 25 ; Acts 8: 37 ; 9: 5 ; 15: 34 ; and some readings (" book of life " instead of " tree of life " in Revelation 22: 19 ) which the Byzantine text did not have.

Examples of major variants are the endings of Mark, the Pericope Adulteræ, the Comma Johanneum, and the Western version of Acts.

The earliest extant Latin manuscripts ( m q l ) supporting the Comma are dated from the 5th to 7th century.

Most modern Bible translations such as the NIV, NASB, ESV, and NRSV are based on the Critical Text and either omit the Comma entirely, or relegate it to the footnotes.

Later, Pope Pius XI on 2 June 1927 decreed the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute and Pope Pius XII on 3 September 1943 decreed the Divino Afflante Spiritu which allowed translations based on other versions than just the Latin Vulgate, notably in English the New American Bible.

" Although many traditional Bible translations, most notably the Authorized King James Version ( KJV ), contain the Comma, modern Bible translations from the Critical Text such as the New International Version ( NIV ), the New American Standard Bible ( NASB ), the English Standard Version ( ESV ), the New Revised Standard Version ( NRSV ) and others tend to either omit the Comma entirely, or relegate it to the footnotes.

The updated Nova Vulgata ( New Vulgate ), published in 1979 following Second Vatican Council, does not include the Comma, nor does the English-language New American Bible.

Scrivener, one of the translators of the English Revised Version, set the Comma in italics to reflect its disputed authenticity.

This decree was clarified somewhat by Pope Pius XI on June 2, 1927, who allowed that the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute, and it was further explicated by Pope Pius XII's Divino Afflante Spiritu.

According to Raymond Brown's introduction of his edition Epistle of John, the source of the Comma Johanneum, a brief interpolation in the First Epistle of John, known since the fourth century, appears to be the Latin Liber Apologeticus by Priscillian.

According to Raymond Brown's Epistle of John, the source of the Comma Johanneum, appears to be the Latin book Liber Apologeticus by Priscillian.

Some familiar examples of Gospel passages in the Textus Receptus thought to have been added by later interpolaters and omitted in the Nestle Aland Greek Text include the Pericope Adulteræ, the Comma Johanneum, and the longer ending in Mark 16.

The I Can See Clearly Now album includes four original Marley compositions published by JAD: " Guava Jelly ", " Comma Comma ", " You Poured Sugar On Me " and the follow-up hit " Stir It Up ".

The Nova Vulgata, the modern revision of the Vulgate approved for liturgical use by the Catholic Church, also excludes the Comma.

In 1905 Karl Künstle published Das Comma Ioanneum: auf seine herkunft untersucht a paper that proposed that " the insertion of the comma into the text of the Epistle is due to Priscillian himself ", as summarized by Alan England Brooke.

Such a manuscript was subsequently produced, some say concocted, by a Franciscan, and Erasmus, true to his word, added the Comma to his 1522 edition, but with a lengthy footnote setting out his suspicion that the manuscript had been prepared expressly to confute him.

De Jonge concludes that no such promise was ever made by Erasmus, and that he never suspected the Codex Britannicus ( Minuscule 61, the text prepared by the Franciscan ) of having been fraudulently prepared with the express purpose of forcing him to include the Comma.

The history of the Comma in the centuries following the development of the Textus Receptus in the 1500s has been one of initial acceptance followed by near-total rejection.

In the 19th century the British population of the Comma crashed, and by 1920 there were only two sightings.

* Additionally, the passage in 1 John 5: 7 – 8 often referred to as the Johannine Comma is thrown into italics by Scrivener because of its disputed authenticity, although the original translators left no indication that they doubted its genuineness.

The first and second edition texts did not include the passage ( 1 John 5: 7 – 8 ) that has become known as the Comma Johanneum.

The Roman Catholic Church decreed that the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute ( June 2, 1927 ), and it is rarely included in modern scholarly translations.

According to Franz Anton Knittel Erasmus in his Novum Instrumentum omne did not incorporate the Comma from Codex Montfortianus, because of grammar differences, but used Complutensian Polyglotta.

According to him the Comma was known for Tertullian.

John Mason in An essay on elocution ( 1748 ) prescribes " A Comma Stops the Voice while we may privately tell one, a Semi Colon two ; a Colon three: and a Period four.

He defended an authenticity of the Pericopa Adulterae ( John 7: 53 – 8: 11 ), Comma Johanneum ( 1 John 5: 7 ), and Testimonium Flavianum.

According to him Erasmus in his Novum Instrumentum omne did not incorporate the Comma from Codex Montfortianus, because of grammar differences, but used Complutensian Polyglotta.

According to him the Comma was known for Tertullian.

Hoppus was a large part of City ( Comma ) State's debut album Shady Lane, currently set to be released in 2011.

In the same periodical, in the course of 1788 and 1789, appeared the Letters to Archdeacon Travis, against George Travis, on the debated Biblical verse called the Comma Johanneum ( 1 John 5: 7 ); the Letters were collected in 1790 into a volume.

With the third edition of Erasmus ' Greek text ( 1522 ) the Comma Johanneum was included, because " Erasmus chose to avoid any occasion for slander rather than persisting in philological accuracy ", even though he remained " convinced that it did not belong to the original text of l John.

He goes so far as to conclude that Erasmus must have been providentially guided when he introduced Latin Vulgate readings into his Greek text ; and even argues for the authenticity of the Comma Johanneum.

Comma separated lists were also widely used in the earliest pre-IBM PC era personal computers for tape storage backup and interchange of database information between machines of two different architectures.

Preferred attenuators use either doped fibers, or mis-aligned splices, since both of these are reliable and inexpensive.

A group of less abundant snRNAs, U11, U12, U4atac, and U6atac, together with U5, are subunits of the so-called minor spliceosome that splices a rare class of pre-mRNA introns, denoted U12-type.

Light leakage due to bending, splices, connectors, or other outside forces are other factors resulting in attenuation.

Although acceptable in some languages and compulsory in others, comma splices are usually considered style errors in English.

Some run-on sentence definitions include comma splices, but others limit the term to independent clauses that are joined without punctuation, thereby excluding comma splices.

Strunk & White note that splices are sometimes acceptable when the clauses are short and alike in form, such as:

* Fiber Splice Tray, a mechanical closure that fiber optic fusion and mechanical splices are placed in.

FST are designed to provide a location to store and to protect the fiber cables and the splices.

Eye splices are very strong and compact and are employed in moorings and docking lines among other uses.

Splices are preferred to knotted rope, since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20-40 %, some splices can retain up to 95 % of the strength of the line.

Most types of splices are used on 3 strand rope, but some can be done on 12 strand or greater single braided rope as well as most double braids.

Nanobiotechnologists ( really molecular engineers who work with both biological and nonbiological molecules ) are generally not concerned with complex systems per se ; even when they are building molecular interconnects between such systems, e. g. neuroelectronic splices.

In landscape and exterior construction projects airtight seals are used for general service and landscape lighting electrical connections and splices ; and in other specific applications, needing to meet " airtight " standards to be " waterproof " and / or " vapor-proof " for human safety and proper functioning.
