Here are a couple of examples of how punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence:

  1. A woman, without her man, is nothing
          A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    2. Dear Jack,
        I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let me be yours?

Good ones, Henrietta!

I especially love the first one - I have to use it sometimes while arguing with my male chauvinist friends Smile [:)]

I wish I could show this to my neighbours(they don't know enough English to follow this) - when asked to copy out poetry, they do it without punctuation. Little do they know how huge a mistake they're making!
