Here �s another one: �Refrain not to kill King Edward is right.� If the point is placed after the first word, the sentence reads, �Not to kill the king is right;� but if after the second word, the direction becomes, �Refrain not; to kill the king is right.� Sophia |

Another:
In Russia a period once actually saved a man �s life. The czar had condemned the man to death and sent this note to the jailer, who had been instructed to wait for orders: " PARDON IMPOSSIBLE. TO BE EXECUTED." The czarina, who felt sympathetic toward the prisoner, intercepted the note and changed the punctuation as follows: "PARDON. IMPOSSIBLE TO BE EXECUTED." The jailer there upon released the prisoner, who escaped from the country before the Czar discovered what had happened.
