Punctuation changes the whole meaning of the sentence!
Punctuation. It has been used and abused. Just adding a comma, colon, semi-colon, or any other punctuation mark can change the whole meaning of the sentence.
Here is an example:
- A woman, without her man, is nothing.
- A woman: without her, man is nothing.
The first one is saying that if a woman is not with her man, then she is nothing, or not worth anything. The second one is the reverse. It is saying that without a woman, a man is nothing. It may also be talking about mankind. Since woman is the base of society and is the nurturing mother; without women, man cannot exist.
Did you notice the major difference in ihe meanings? Just adding the colon and comma changed the whole point that was getting across.
