From my copy editing professor

Prof. Luecke sent this to us today while we were creating our front pages:

"An English professor wrote the words: 'A woman without her man is nothing' on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.

All the males in the class wrote: 'A woman, without her man, is nothing.'

All the females in the class wrote: 'A woman: without her, man is nothing.'

Punctuation is powerful!"


I feel that this epitomizes our copy editing class of eight girls completely obsessed with design, grammar, and writing.

Yeah.
