Did you ever think that punctuation marks are not that important?
have a look at the following.


Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?

Firass!!

I totally agree with you! My English teacher is like a "punctuation nazi" :D and she gave us an example, well a short one, like that too.

It was... ehm..

oh!

 

"The panda bear eats, shoots, and leaves. "

"The panda bear eats shoots and leaves." XDD

It's amazing how a couple of commas can transform nouns into verbs and change the whole meaning of a sentence!!

 

I hate it when people do not take punctuation into consideration when writing.. :(

Great example, you're such a good teacher.  ^^
