    how would you go about punctuating this sentence.

    "a woman without her man is nothing."

    there are probably a few ways to punctuate this so give it a go.

    Without her man, a woman is nothing.

    not too many ways to puncuate..
    by the way, that statement is crap

    see i'm thinking grammatically. that first sentence is a fragment. the statement in itself can be changed around so many ways, but you only said puncuate it...not change the words as you wish. if i had known that, i wouldve.

    Well, it would really be:


    A woman: without her, man is nothing.....

    Then it wouldn't be a fragment....

    i like to use "..." at the end of all my sentences and statements, leave it open to add more or let others add to it...

    well i started with 'a women, without her man, is nothing'

    then thought, no thats wrong.

    so i went for 'a women, without her, man is nothing'

    but i decided that was wrong too.

    its a silly sentence coz we all need each other
