Men V. Women - Who is correct?

[kerrisan]

An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.

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

The women wrote: "Woman - without her, man is nothing."

Actually, I had this question on an English test once-asking for both ways of puncuating it. I don't mean to brag, but I got a 2/2 on it. :D Half of the class didn't even understand the question.

[Greenday]

Well, grammatically, they are both right, but the one the woman created would be a false statement.:lol:

That's a little like the single-question final exam:
"Why?"

Accepted responses:
"Because" (B)
"Why not?" (A)
Anyone who does not answer one of the above, fails.

Woman, without her man, is happy? :D

Half the class probably didn't understand GRAMMAR.

Nowadays, it seems like that is a big problem in general.

Sadly, a lot of people now either think that grammar is grandpaw's wife. Either that, or they enrage me by spelling it "grammer". :mad:

Oh, don't get me started! I can't even bear to read the local commuter papers because they have so many spelling and grammatical errors in them. No, no, the "Beckham's" aren't moving to L.A. *urge to kill rising*

Woman, without her man, is happy? :D
As with the second.

"Woman - without her, man is happy."
Until he gets horny again."

[Posture Moll]

Well, grammatically, they are both right, but the one the woman created would be a false statement.:lol:
