"The Importance Of Correct Punctuation"

Version I

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind,
thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no
feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you
let me be yours?

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind,
thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no

feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you
let me be?

Yours,
Gloria

"Punctuation Does Count!"

An English professor wrote some words on the
blackboard and directed his students to punctuate
it correctly.

He wrote: "Woman without her man is a savage"

The men punctuated the sentence as:
"Woman, without her man, is a savage."

The women punctuated the sentence as:
"Woman! Without her, man is a savage."
