"Howl is deeply touched by their concern. Nice, they could bother to watch a voracious wolf lunge for his throat."
The second sentence does not sound right to me. Do I list it as an error or should I ignore it? If I do list it as error, what is the syntax to follow. I have had point deductions for not listing the error properly. Kindly guide me. Also, are "Dang" and "Crap" classified as mild profanity? Should they be listed?

Hi,
While I think the comma after "nice" could be considered a splice, it is primarily a style issue, and I would not list it as an error. The instructions in the PRQ advise not to list a comma error if we are in doubt.
Guideline 21 covers how to list errors.
Regarding profanity, use the first entry in this post for official guidance:
