    Asalaam 'Alaykum


    An English professor wrote the words :

    "Woman without her man is nothing"

    on the blackboard and directed her students to punctuate it correctly.

    The male students wrote :
    "Woman, without her man, is nothing!"

    The female students wrote :
    "Woman! without her, man is nothing!"

    Asalamu Alaikum

    Quite simply the males wrote a woman without her man is nothing. The females wrote the man is nothing without a woman.

    It's all about the comma.

    Good one sis.
    Punctuate it correctly

    Got a question, or got something in general to say or ask me, drop me a line. Peace out!

    haha very nice - i've seen it before, but it's always a good reminder of how powerful and easily manipulated language can be.
