Punctuation What is it good for?

Absolutely Nothing? Punctuation: the practice or system of using certain conventional marks or characters in writing or printing in order to separate elements and make the meaning clear, as in ending a sentence or separating clauses. Origins: 1530-40, from Medieval Latin.

Punctuate this line: A woman without her man is nothing

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

Punctuation is Important Because: It changes the meaning of your writing, whether you intend it to or not. Leonora walked on her head, a little higher than usual. Don’t guess, use a timer or watch. The main value of punctuation is the clarification of syntax.
