A woman without her man is nothing.

Tauba tauba, so sexist!!!
Let’s see how you change it with punctuation, so that it sounds reverse-sexist.

And what is the deal with the word “contumely?” WHy is it not an adverb?

Re: Paging Grammartards

Re: Paging Grammartards

Woman, without her man, is nothing : Isnt that more sexist?

You are quite close with the first one, though.

Lajjo: if you take out “without her,” your sentence reads,
“A woman, , man is nothing” does not flow.

I thought the sentence was supposed to remain the same without removing or adding words...

A woman without food is nothing...

A man without a woman is everything... :)

Re: Paging Grammartards

I tried to look up the meaning of word AWIDE and it didn’t give me any

Why are you playing around with big belly boys who are fasting?

Re: Paging Grammartards

lajjo, here is an example.

Commas are sometimes used to seperate or set of expressions that interrupt the flow of a SENTENCE.

For. e.g.,

Mt Big, who was big, ate a big sandwich. If i take out the "who was big," the sentence "Mr Big ate a sandwich" should still GRAMMATICALLY make sense. In your case it doesn't:)

Re: Paging Grammartards

colon indicates conversation, right?. Why would anyone speak in a third person POV?

Bu you are close.
