    I've fixed your mistakes. There were only two mistakes in that short sentence.
    School boy errors he'd call it.

    So...does a comma appear before the word 'but'?

    ex. "I did everything she told me, but I ran out of time for the extra stuff."

    I swear to god I've seen both and last time I did grammar was...well...its not even worth mentioning because no one concentrates on it anymore.

    Least not where I'm from. True story.


    I should probably pay more attention to the books I read...

    Yes, I did. I changed the comma after "Why" to a question mark, Capitalized the i in "it" and fixed the spelling of "sence". Those are technically three things, but I consider the capitalization of the "i" a part of changing the comma to a question mark.

    Your example sentence is correct. Compound sentences join one or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction (which may or may not be preceded by comma) or a semicolon.
