To all my dear colleagues and friends,

I'm sure you'll appreciate this being English teachers and especially, women!

An English professor wrote the words:

"A woman without her man is nothing" on the board and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.

All 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.
