   There are a couple of problems here: first, I can't go to either of the   
   links, as they both come up as possible malware sites (meaning that the   
   address shown doesn't match the address the site itself reports);   
   second, technically speaking "so" is not a conjunction (based on Miss   
   Grundy's teaching of 65 years ago!).   
      
   Regardless of it's status, I would opt to rewrite the sentence so as to   
   avoid the issue. e.g.:   
      
   A comma should be used before [are you sure you didn't mean to type   
   "after"? dh] conjunctions.  The term "fanboys" is a mnemonic for the   
   words for, and, but, or, nor, yet, so, which are used  to separate two   
   independent clauses. They are called co-ordinating conjunctions.   
      
      
      
   Cheers... Dallas
