Punctuation
|
An English teacher 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."

I agree only with the second one. Incorrect punctuation at the first one. Check Swan! (Swan the wife!!)

Funny! It reminds me of a class ( 14 -year-old ones ) who tended to think that punctuation was NOT useful at all...I kept struggling when marking their papers!! Sooooo, I gave them an English text - as a comprehension task - , after removing all the punc. marks...
They changed their minds!

Be fair
it �s all right with both. it depends on the state of mind, the feelings and the gender of the writer at the time of punctuation. |
