The power of punctuation....

THE WORD FOR "NOTHING" Actually, the subjective word in that sentence is "nothing". So, it can be twisted and turned the other words to reach the subject. It also could be "Without her man, a woman is nothing" or "Is nothing a woman, without her man". I think, that English professor got trouble with his wife and no place to express or vent his anger. So, he highlighted that words and shared with his students. Thanks for providing this nice discussion.

Hi minfas, Yeeah! it may be funny but that is the truth, women and hold her own and get on with life really don't need no man, it men that needs women. Tamara

This is funny! The meaning can get totally different with the change in punctuation. And we must be careful while using right kind of punctuations. Thanks for sharing this.

Hi minfas! Wow, that is really funny and I really like the way the females in that class punctuated that statement! I completely agree with that! LOL..That is really very nice! Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Quite interesting and funny too.Yes!the punctuations are must when the statements have ambiguity.I can give you another example."A big fat policeman's wife".In this sentence,the commas placed after big or fat gives different meanings.Try it out.Cheers!

Lol, its really amazing how punctuations can change the meaning of the sentence. Hehe, I would've answered it that way too. Typical, huh? :) I'm sure it started a debate in that class between the tow sentences. Wish I was there in that classroom, hehehe.

Yes it really is pretty good isn't it, we woman no how to do it the right way all the time lol.

Lol. It is interesting story. I do believe in the power of punctuation that sentences that are punctuated properly make a good impression for the reader. I do give importance to punctuate my emails properly and it is important in my professional life. Happy mylotting.
