Punctuation is powerful

Frederik

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."

Daniel

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?

Here are a few from the "national punctuation day" web page:

Let’s eat, mommy.
Let’s eat mommy.

Quality service and attention to detail.
Quality, service, and attention to detail.

Don’t use commas, which are not necessary.
Don’t use commas which are not necessary.

Giant moving, sale Friday

Punctuate this paragraph:
That that is is that that is not is not thats it that is.

Why punctuation is important to one’s sex life:

Pre-marital sex: What some people have before marriage.
Extra marital sex: What some people have in a happy marriage.
Extra-marital sex: What people have in a not-so-happy marriage.
If you’re having a lot of #3, you’re probably not having a lot of #2. It all depends where you place the hyphen.

Very good Jim, but when you think about "mommy", both statements result in the same thing. It least thats what my wife claims:-)
