Adventures in Punctuation
Interesting how punctuation can affect the outcome of one's words. :eek: ;)
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about.
You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not
like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have
ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no
feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever
happy--will you let me be yours?

A professor wrote these words on the blackboard and asked his students to add the punctuation.
WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING
The male half of the class wrote
Woman, without her man, is nothing.
The female half of the class wrote
Woman: without her, man is nothing.
