WOMEN WITHOUT HER MAN WOULD BE USELESS

Some might think

Woman without her man would be useless


Others might say

Woman! Without her, man would be useless.


But I think it should be

Woman! Without her, man would be used less.

Shouldn't that be woman not women?

Anyway, in such circumstances wouldn't she be a Wo?

Hey Tas - point against for repetition!

These are old examples which used to be taught in schools to highlight proper puncuation; alas now (after Shirley bloody Williams and her 'Go As You Please, There are no Rules' approach to education [apparently the little cherubs can now feel their way through education, sans direction or correction]) the 'Green Grocer's' apostrophe rules the roost!

Your first offering should read:

&quot;A woman, without her man, is nothing.&quot;

Your second and third offerings should read:

&quot;A woman: without her, man is nothing.&quot;


Now, write out 500 times: &quot;Me must try 'arder wiv me wordz n stuff!&quot;
