  • An English professor wrote these words

    I have heard of this one before. It followed a similar example on a will written to be split between Person 1 Person 2 and Person 3. Person 3 argued that it was 50/50 meaning 1&2 got 50 and person 3 getting 50. I think person 3 won the awarded amount for lack of a comma.

    men are from mars women venus. The women's version creates unparallel structure and so is aesthetically unpleasing.

    You know, I wouldn't have put any punctuation in it at all. Doesn't need any to be a grammatically correct sentence!

    Wow, SU is full of geniuses. One genius found out that it's impossible for all women in a class to give the exactly the same answer and impossible for all men in the class to give the same answer. I never thought of that. I though this joke was real.

    subliminalboy, I know it wasn't funny, but it WAS a joke. Fictional. Fabricated. No man wrote anything. No woman wrote anything. It's as true as any blonde joke. Calm down.

    While the actual statement is clever this is the most contrived piece of bullshit ever. You mean to tell me every woman in that class came to the exact same and surprisingly clever 2nd version of the punctuation, and every one of those penis swinging brutes came to the same male egocentric 1st version? Give me a break. The same story as a parable might hold more sway but presented as reality it leads me to question the integrity of the individual posting it. I am not sexist but my mind jumped to the first punctuation conclusion....then in an immediate effort to fight the blatant sexism of the statements original format my mind raced to find a less obvious solution. I think this same reaction would have occurred in a college level class of students studying English and at least a few of those man monkeys would have produced the alternative.
