Today, oddly enough, we've had the first snow of the season, despite the fact that we're now in the middle of December, and I'm in Michigan.

Run on sentence

Today, oddly enough, we've had the first snow of the season, despite the fact that we're now in the middle of December, and I'm in Michigan.

Run on[1] sentence[2][3]

[1] "Run-on" needs a hyphen.
[2] This is a fragment.
[3] This requires punctuation.

To your accusation: False. That sentence is not even close to a run-on sentence. Every comma is placed in a grammatically correct way.

Run-on sentences, also known as comma splices, are when two sentences are conjoined--that is to say, with a comma, and no connecting words are sticking the two thoughts together. If I were to remove those commas, I would form sentence fragments, which would be grammatically incorrect.

Nice try, though.

It's been fairly rainy here for the past few days, which makes it difficult to walk around campus.

How is you're week going?

There shouldn't be a comma before and. The sentence is also worded awkwardly.

I thought it was worded nicely. Also, that comma is perfectly acceptable as it's preceding an independent clause.

There was a little bit of snow here before Thanksgiving, but after that it's only been rain. Kind of wierd for Illinois but i'm not complaining.

Alas, I will never be able to experience snow during the Christmas season, since it is summer here.

Having to write with perfect grammar really is awful. I am quite paranoid that this is written incorrectly, it has been quite a while since I've focused heavily on my grammar.

It's been fairly rainy here for the past few days, which makes it difficult to walk around campus.

How is you're[1] week going?

[1] That is the incorrect form of "your".

It's going well enough. I was planning on seeing Star Wars this weekend, but there's been a delay.

There shouldn't be a comma before and[1]. The sentence is also worded awkwardly.

[1] Quotation marks should be put around the word "and," because you're singling it out from my sentence.

The comma before the "and" is acceptable grammar. Whether a sentence is worded awkwardly or not is based entirely on perception. I don't think the sentence is worded awkwardly at all.

Any second now, Verb is going to destroy me,[1] with his grammar.

[1] This comma is extraneous.

Your grammar isn't so bad. Your frequent misuse of the word "dough" is troublesome, however.

"And I'm in Michigan" would have better been put before "we're now in the middle of December". It lets the ready know before hand that Michigan is unusual in December instead of tacking it on at the end.

exam week so this week sucks the only good thing about it will be wen break starts up on on friday

There was a little bit of snow here before Thanksgiving, but after that it's only been rain. Kind of wierd[1] for Illinois[2] but i'm[3] not complaining.

[1] You misspelled "weird."
[2] There should be a comma here.
[3] "I" is always capitalized, unless you're trying to make some stylistic statement.

[1] This is a comma splice.

Your grammar is pretty decent.

[1] You misspelled "reader," but it looks more like a typographical error or an auto-correct.
[2] "Beforehand" is a compound word.

I actually agree with your amendment, but that doesn't mean the original was "incorrect," grammatically speaking.

exam[1] week[2] so this week sucks[3] the[4] only good thing about it will be wen[5] break starts up on on[6] friday[7][8]

[1] "Exam" needs to be capitalized.
[2] There should be a comma after "week."
[3] There should be a period after "sucks," because it appears to be a full sentence.
[4] "The" should be capitalized after fixing [3].
[5] "When" is misspelled.
[6] You used the word "on" twice.
[7] "Friday" should be capitalized.
[8] This sentence requires punctuation.

I think I got them all.

Its gon rain than freeze. Ya'll better bundle up.

The wether in south Florida is swellydellyjingjangAboop.

Also, is spelling something wrong incorrect, grammar?

1: You got me there.
2: I was always taught that putting a comma next to but is optional.
3: Same here, I was always taught that capitalizing the I in i'm is only required if at the start of the sentence.

You're[1] threads are always good reads. The weather here has'nt[2] been to[3] shabby, given it's[4] time of year. Their's[5] always going to be people to complain, but not much your[6] able to do about that.[7] There[8] never going to be satisfied with they're[9] situation anyways. Alot[10] of people are like that these days.

Thanks shitty reception on the train for making me post this prematurely. Fuck.

[1] Incorrect form of "your."
[2] Misplaced apostrophe on "hasn't."
[3] Incorrect form of "too."
[4] Incorrect form of "its."
[5] Incorrect form of "there's."
[6] Incorrect form of "your."
[7] This sentence is an awkward mess.
[8] Incorrect form of "they're."
[9] Incorrect form of "their." You have the trifecta.
[10] "Alot" is not a compound word.

I may have missed a couple; there's a lot going on there.

For someone whose first language is not English, I have to say that your grasp of it is rather impressive, considering that you can intentionally construct a grammatically incorrect mess. I admire multilingualism very much.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Wow, i've been spelling weird wrong for so long my phone is autocorrecting it to wierd.

Shit.

[1] Incorrect form of "it's."
[2] At least put an apostrophe after the "n."
[3] Comma.
[4] Incorrect form of "then."
[5] The apostrophe should go after the "Y," not the "a."

Stereotypical Southern dialects can be grammatically correct, as long as you're consistent.
