    Adventures in Punctuation

    Interesting how punctuation can affect the outcome of one's words.

    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?
    Jane

    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.

    The first dear Jon letter really confused me and made no sense. The second one was MUCH better. And I've heard that "women without her man is nothing" before but its still cool to see!
