    The Value of Punctuation……….!!!


    An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard:
    “Woman without her man is nothing.”
    The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the sentence.

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


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