Lord Noel On The Importance Of Proper Punctuation

Whatto! Sticklers.........
 
I've always been a firm believer in the adage "It's all in the punctuation".....
And this was recently demonstrated to me during a lecture by good friend of mine, an English professor, who invited me to attend one of his lectures as a guest...........
He began th exercise by writing down the words, "Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard........
...... he then directed his students to punctuate it correctly.......
Strangely enough.......
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
But the women wrote: "Woman: Without her, man is nothing."

Tallyho!
Best wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
