comma splice

Using a comma to connect two independent clauses; this is especially bad if they're unrelated. Instead use a semicolon, period, or a conjunction. You could also just change your wording if you really wanted to.

implied comma

The implied comma is the part of a sentence that is not spoken, and the clause that follows is also not spoken; however, both the comma and the dependent clause are very much 'communicated.'

Often what's communicated after the implied comma carries much more weight than what was actually spoken.
Here's an example of the implied comma.

Joe Suburbs said, "You can't go to Zoe's house overnight. It's the school year. You're not on vacation."

His 17 year-old daughter, Briannah heard him say, "...you're not on vacation, loser."

For the rest of the evening, Joe Suburbs could not figure out why his daughter wouldn't speak to him and why she was slamming doors all over the house.

semi-comma

a natural pause that occurs or that should be made after every word (except, of course, the last word) not followed by any punctuation mark while reading a text.
In the sentence 'We are human beings', a semi-comma occurs three times. Symbolically, it can be written as 'We*are*human*beings.', where '* (asterisk)' would represent 'semi-comma'.
