A Woman, A Man

[Tarzan's Jane]

An English Professor wrote the words:

 

"A woman without her man is nothing" on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.

All the males in the class wrote:

 

"A woman, without her man, is nothing."

 

All the females in the class wrote:

"A woman: without her, man is nothing."

 

Punctuation is powerful.

No kidding! That's hilarious

 

And it's a wonder how people can be misunderstood in this electronic comunication age.

That same sentence was on our chalk board as I entered the classroom of Professor Houtchins in September 1952. It was freshman composition, listed as English 101. I received a C, thought that was pretty good, and quickly signed up for English 102 under the same professor. Got another C and was glad to have the course behind me.

No way!!! It amazes me how great some people's memories are. For example, my partner's father will be 75 soon and he still remembers and can recite a poem from when he attended Grade 9.....60 years ago!!!!

I'm 64 and I can still remember the poems:

 

If, The Creamation of Sam Mcgee, and High Flight all of which would have been taught in grades 6 or 7. Still love thoes poems today. Now ask me what I had for dinner last Friday????? LOL

A woman without? Her man is NOTHING.

[Tarzan's Jane]

A woman without? Her man is NOTHING.

 

That's not bad Roy....but "A woman without?" is grammatically incorrect. Therefore you fail!
