For this thread, write a statement. then directly below it, write the same statement, but with different punctuation. Here is an example.

A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.

Or just do stuff with punctuation. It's up to you.

Here is the most extreme example I found:
Dear Jack,
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 be be?
-Jill

I just want to say the only thing I altered was the spacing, punctuation and the capitalization of letters.

Even in the darkest of times there is always hope, but sometimes fear clouds our vision, sometimes our strength gives out, and yet sometimes when all seems lost, a light shines through the darkness and we are reminded that even the smallest amount of courage can turn the tides of war.
~ Gary Oldman as Ignitus ((The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon))

Panda. Large black and white bear-like mammal. Eats shoots and leaves.


A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

'Well, I'm a panda', he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'

Something I saw on a car sign, near a school.
Slow children crossing.
I think they meant:
Slow, children crossing.
