The Importance of "Correct Punctuation"

Depending on how the following is punctuated, this is either a Valentine's Day post, or an Anti-Valentine's Day post. (It might be good to show this to your children the next time they complain about having to learn how to punctuate correctly.)

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?
Gloria

Yours, Gloria
