Punctuation

Now, this is an interesting post.
It often goes unnoticed for me being not a native speaker.
Now, here is a sentence which goes like this:
A woman without her man is nothing.
The above sentence can mean different with the punctuation; lets see
Way1
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
Way 2
A woman; without her, man is nothing.
Isn’t it interesting.
I remember the first research paper, that I wrote way back in 2006, received some comments from the reviewer that punctuation needs review especially a, the, an, and commas.
That time I wondered that we non native english speaker can speak and understand but when it comes to writing,
we are not good. Believe me, it took me a lot of time to understand this and more time to accept it and much more to admit it.
