hallway Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 How often I wonder do our hard pressed Yellows have to mediate when it is just a case of a language misunderstanding ? I came across the following and I thought it may demonstrate how easy it is to misunderstand, so before taking offense let it go - it is probably just a case of the missing punctuation. :B) An English Professor wrote on the blackboard the following words and asked his class to punctuate them for him. "Woman without her man is nothing" The men in the class wrote: Woman, without her man, is nothing. The women in the class wrote: Woman ! Without her, man is nothing. Punctuation or gender difference - forget the text - enjoy the Bridge :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
