What is?

Not even close Rob. I told you that a comma is used in place of the word AND. I did not tell you to remove the word and. Nice try fella. A person with half a brain would remove the comma. You have no brain so here we are.

If the comma is used IN PLACE OF “and”, but you don’t remove “and”, then the comma is not being used IN PLACE OF “and”.
in place of -instead of.
"eat raisins in place of junk food desserts"

Precisely why proper use of the language is important. You have a weaker command, so you say things that are incorrect. Then you get angry when people take them at face value.

You dumbasss, you shouldn't have put a comma there to begin with!!! You are not going to spin out of it.

My name is Rob, and I like 2nd graders, and blowing dudes, and trolling internet forums, and Goggling all my answers, and arguments.

Yeah, sounds stellar Rob.

Ah so other races and cultures be damned as long as white Rob gets his preferred punctuation...

In an English speaking country? Yes.
I don’t go to other countries and expect them to change their language for me.
Nor should I.
Do you?

The comma is used so the reader knows to take a pause or a beat before continuing to read, not to be used in place of the word “and” as you are suggesting.

Tell the truth: Did you drop out in grade school?

Or... you could leave it out as it is not needed. The word and does all that for you with one less step that doesn't make you look stupid.

Another English lesson for you:
“You usually put a comma before and when it’s connecting two independent clauses”

You’re welcome.

Do you think the word “and” should be removed since there is a comma, or do you think it’s incorrect to use a comma when “and” joins two independent clauses?

So we took the Queens English and "modified" into American English... what's the problem Rob?

I don’t see one.

Cool. Starting tomorrow, all numbers in the US shall be spoken in Italian instead of English.
Viva evoluzione!

I’m wrong that as an English speaking country, we should speak English as our primary language, and not have multiple “primary” languages?

Tell me: Why do you think we should not have English as our singular language of the US?
