English can be funny with those punctuations......

have you noticed that just by interchanging the punctuation marks can really change the entire meaning? check this -- An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: "Woman: Without her, man is nothing."

I like that. It only proves that words can have different meaning depending on who interprets it. kudos : )
