Kia Ora Friends and Colleagues

It seems I hit a note with this subject last night and I have been asked for more, so here is a second example of where, punctuation can completely change the fundamental meaning of words.

Enjoy.....

Dear Jack

Look at the difference between these two passages, same words different punctuation

The First:

Dear Jane,

I want a woman who gets what love is all about.

You are warm, generous, thoughtful.

Souls not like you admit to be useless and fickle.

You have wasted me for other women.

I yearn for you.

I have no feelings when we're apart.

I can be always contented - will you let me be yours?

Peter

The Second:

Dear Jane,

I want a woman who gets what love is.

All about you are warm, generous, thoughtful souls , who are not like you.

Admit to being useless and fickle.

You have wasted me.

For other women I yearn!

For you I have no feelings.

When we're apart I can be always happy.

Will you let me be?

Yours,

Peter
