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."
Yes punctuation is that powerful. ♥

Punctuation * is * efficient, yet i encourage to to discover a verse in the Bible whose meaning might substitute with countless punctuation thoughts. As on your occasion, it somewhat is a pretend. A delusion. The sentence you provide is the classic occasion for a manner punctuation can substitute the meaning of a sentence, however the placement you describe by no skill occurred. do you already understand how many people use the colon in usual written paintings? helpful few. Even fewer comprehend whilst and the place to apply it wisely. yet you % me to have self belief * all * the ladies, bar none, used it in the type you plan? i do no longer purchase it.

nice work.. Punctuations are really powerful. They could change the meaning of sentences. So be careful in putting punctuation marks in your sentence. Someone might misunderstand you or something. bla bla

Funny, but I have to disagree with both.
A man can be something without a woman.
A woman can be something without a man.
