- Lenny, on 10/10/2007, -35/+369I think the males in the class got it right.
- Enochyang, on 10/10/2007, -40/+297"A woman, without her man, is nothing." seem a LOT more logical and straight-forward than "A woman: without her, a man is nothing". The former sounds like a sentence you might actually hear in real life, while the latter sounds like something Yoda might say.
This just goes to show how every woman will twist things around--no matter how ***** bat-***** ridiculous it sounds--in order to appear superior to males. - satx, on 10/10/2007, -7/+200Capitalization is important too:
"I helped my Uncle Jack off the horse." vs. "i helped my uncle jack off the horse." - secretwhistle, on 10/10/2007, -6/+185Homer: "But I thought you worked on commission?"
Lionel Hutz: "Let me see that." (takes business card from Homer - it reads "Works on Commission. No money down.")
Lionel Hutz: "The printers screwed that up." (Edits card.)
Lionel Hutz (reading 'fixed' card): "Works on commission? No, money down!" - Lylepalooza, on 10/10/2007, -8/+121@ Enochyang
Dugg for using "***** bat-*****" as a unit of measurement for "ridiculous". - jenel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+87No, capitalization is everything: http://bash.org/?367896
- exomni, on 10/10/2007, -3/+73They did get it right. So did the females.
However: the males got it MORE right. The second method of punctuation is laborious and jarringly unnatural. If you wanted to convey the meaning of the second punctuation method, you'd simply say "Without woman, man is nothing."
However, since this was a hypothetical situation that never happend (and never would happen), it's rather pointless discussing this.
I find it amusing that something claiming to convey the power of punctuation is used instead to be so sexualy divisive. - AnteChronos, on 10/10/2007, -6/+69You know, I'm all for having a pictures section and all, but do we really need an image of TEXT? Wouldn't this entire submission have fit into the article description? What's next? Typing text, taking a photo of the monitor, scanning the photo, running OCR software on the scan, and submitting the resulting text to Digg?
Here, have a Wikipedia link that includes this entire submission as a small example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation - Smills, on 10/10/2007, -6/+62A panda eats, shoots and leaves.
- lalop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56The phrase was actually
"Works on contingency? No, money down!" - nova912, on 10/10/2007, -11/+58As a man, I think you need to grow a pair and realize it's a joke.
- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+46No, girls allowed.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+50Like this one,
Man: Why did you make women so beautiful?
God: So that you will love her
Man: But why on earth did you make them so stupid?
God: ...So that she will love you. - spidoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41Actually the more important difference is "I helped my uncle, Jack, off the horse."
just saying. - MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -3/+41Punctuation isn't as important as getting laid though!
- veriix, on 10/10/2007, -8/+46I think the bigger question is why are there females in English class? That won't help their cooking skills at all.
- gak001, on 10/10/2007, -9/+46Dude, why are you on digg right now? You're going to miss Oprah!
- donnikhan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39NO! DON'T! STOP!
or
NO! DON'T STOP! - andrewcsayer, on 10/10/2007, -7/+43old
- bushface, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36surely woman without man is just wo?
- Calculon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33"You win your case or your pizza is free!"
later
"Here's your pizza!" "But we won the case..." "That's okay, the box is empty!"
RIP Lionel Hutz... aka Miguel Sanchez - yfguitarist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+32Sweet Ass-Comment
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29So old, in fact, that I believe I received this by fax in 1989, right after the eighth-generation drawing of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck double-teaming Minnie.
- dunderballer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22You have a comma splice in the first nonsentence and complete incoherence in the second.

Yeah, that's why I'm pretty sure this didn't actually happen. At least, not "all the girls in the class." Who would actually come up with that? - po43292, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I'm Ron Burgundy?
- krets, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24Quit being such a baby.
- daridave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20The women manipulated punctuation into sounding right.
- Lylepalooza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19The second line doesn't make any sense. I've Dugg you as an example :)
- inigomntoya, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Shouldn't it be:
Be a man, not an *****, like your father
Be a man, not an ***** like your father - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20msaleem submitted it = instant frontpage.
even if it is a picture of frikin text!
ffs digg and its barmy army. - Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21I knew that was coming as soon as I saw this story.
- bjs3171, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19a point I agree with, but this is *****. no way every single man wrote it one way and every single woman wrote it the other way.
- badave, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18I seriously doubt that all of anyone, even all of one gender, in any class got the punctuation the same. Not in this day in age, not with this education system, and definitely not unless it is a joke. It must be a joke.
- endlessoul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16That's what they do.
Manipulate. - devin_mm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16That Bar Association logo probably shouldn't be here either.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+22What else have you plagiarized today?
- sgglynn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15And now my coworkers think i'm a lunatic for busting out laughing in my cubicle, thanks lyle
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14On the same note, do we need a video demonstrating how to change the desktop background on Windows XP?
- hambend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14This sentence, without commas, describes itself.
- omarciddo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Epic fail.
- KMye, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Apocryphal, but clever
- CapitolK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15True story I heard about a very large woman and a co-worker. The large woman does a favor for co-worker, who later says to her: "I owe you big girl!"
She is, of course, furious, hearing the sentence as "I owe you, big girl!" and thinking he was calling her fat. Of course, what he had actually intended was "I owe you big, girl!" - comstock76, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16I like turtles?
- Jeeum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12How clever.
:D - Scarfy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Now that's just stupid.
- steppingrazor, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13A.) Wo-man! Without Herman is no thing.
- protogenxl, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12A comma could completely change the meaning of the second amendment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Commas - JessicaChrono, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10As a matter of fact, you didn't punctuate either of those correctly. Lol. Correctly punctuated would be: "Be a man like your father. Don't be an *****." and "Be a man. Like your father, don't be an *****." And still the second sentence is a terrible one.
- Yurhiness, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10uhhhh. no.
