but the grammar of Jabberwocky is perfectly correct!

       [correct; although written to confuse any meaningful sense;

           also, the use of puns are amusing due to their confusion in
meaning -

I doubt 'good communication skills' require 'proper' grammar.

       [well, how would you punctuate this sentence? -
          Woman without her man is helpless
         (yes, it's an old time example used by probably every English

       It could be 'Woman, without her man, is helpless.' or 'Woman:
without her, man is helpless.']
