The Importance of Punctuation
Про “казнить нельзя помиловать” мы уже как-то вспоминали, но мимо нижеприведенного примера мы пройти просто не могли. Как все-таки сильна пунктуация!
Из Games Magazine, 1984
Version one
Dear John,
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 me be yours?
