English Lesson
An English professor wrote the words, "woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

Funny thing is I agree with both statements. 😱 It's exactly what men and women think! Though of course the women's statement is entirely more true. ;-)

Punctuation and word order can drastically change the meaning of a sentence. Your post reminded me of a hip-hop song I heard the other day: "We don't go to high school; we go to school high."

Jeez. Impressionable kids are listening to that stuff. And that was the radio edit.
