Punctuation is powerful
-
This could be a fun little game here...
An English professor wrote the words:
"A woman without her man is nothing"
On the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly...All of the males in the class wrote:
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."All the females in the class wrote:
"A woman: Without her, man is nothing." -
A woman without; her man is nothing.

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?
Gloria
