Agreed. Woman Without Her Man Is Nothing |
|
Spoken English is such a fine language for communicating one's thoughts. One can easily make oneself understood when one masters one's language. The trouble may arise when one must write one's thoughts and use punctuation to make oneself understood.
The meaning of the following written sentence is clear and concise (NOT).
Woman without her man is nothing.
Should one use a comma in a different place the same words have two opposite meanings;
Woman, without her, man is nothing.
Woman without her man, is nothing.
Thank you for agreeing with me.

1. Woman without, her man is nothing. |

A 3rd position for a comma giving it yet another variation of meaning.
