Punctuation Is Powerful

An English professor wrote the following words on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
"A woman without her man is nothing"

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."

Punctuation IS powerful.

June Labay, thanks for the post.
