Let's have an English lesson.
Please tell me the difference between the following two items:
"This game got a 9/7/7/6 from Famitsu. Seems mediocre."
and
"Famitsu gave this game a 9/7/7/6 so it's medicore."
Ding ding ding! Time is up.
The first is a set of two independent clauses (sentence and sentence fragment) while the second consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together with a coordinating conjunction. In the first set, the items are not necessarily related. In the second set, the items are definitely related due to the use of the coordinating conjunction.
Now, you typically learn about these things in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th grades depending on your school and I tend to assume that most posters here have at least a 3rd grade education.
Perhaps my assumption is wrong.
