Default Puntuacion

Otro ejemplo de la importancia de la puntuacion es el siguiente:

A woman without her man is nothing.

A woman: without her, man is nothing.

Otro ejemplo es la siguiente carta:

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 feeling whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours? Jill

Dear Jack,

I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtfull 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

Jill

Espero que encuentren estos textos interesantes.

Saludos

Isabel

They are excellent!!

I did put the coma after "mujer"....and the second really made me laugh!

Unfortunately, I don't know any more puns like these, keep posting so I read more!

Estimada Laura:
Francamente.. ¡ Qué poder el que tiene una simple coma ! -Quiero decir, la evidencia no pudo ser mayor con este ejemplo tan pero tan preciso.
Nosotros los que nos dedicamos al campo de la traducción tenemos que ser bastante comedidos en lo que traducimos y cómo lo traducimos. El que Ud. ilustra es un ejemplo palmario de cómo la mente humana cuando de entrar a la batalla de los sexos se trata.. ¡ Cómo la mente humana trabaja acomodando las cosas a conveniencia mediante la colocación de una coma donde se debe pero se puede !!
Pero para que Ud. vea que, en general, los signos de puntuación son tan esenciales en el uso de la gramática correcta, le voy a ilustrar lo que pasa cuando no dividimos adecuadamente las sílabas. Fíjese :

1 - ¿Qué tal, Bartolomé Montoya?
2- ¿Qué tal, Bartolo, me Monto ya?

¿Lo vé, Laura?
¡ Definitivamente Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra nos dejó una tarea enorme con este idioma !

Suerte y éxitos,
RAUL.

gracias, raúl, por tu aporte, y coincido por supuesto en lo importante que es para nosotros, como profesionales de las lenguas, saber colocar la puntuación correcta. ¡esa justamente era la idea! me pareció divertido reflexionar sobre esto en forma amena, y me alegro de que varios lo hayan pensado igual. prometo volver con más!

Oh.. por favor Laura, te aseguro que acá hay más de cinco( al menos) esperando que vuelvas con más.. Inclusive mi esposa, hablante nativa del Inglés y con muy poco Español en su memoria, se echó una risotada cuando le compartí la cita textual que incluíste. No pudo estar mejor.
Así que, manos a la obra.. Estaremos pendientes.

RAUL.
