Oh I'm on my soap box again Stawka .... punctuation! How it was pounded into our heads at college. Much of it useless as textspeak has shown. As for the apostrophe! What is its use?
"Theres no knowing whats right or wrong , just say its wrong and be done with it, your probably right. Wheres the point? Heres my take on it. Down with the apostrophe its a nasty annoying thing and were sick of it. Im sick of it. "
Not an evil little apostrophe to be seen in the above sentence but perfectly understandable.

My favourite example of the importance of punctuation:
A teacher wrote on the board......
A woman without her man is nothing
All the male students punctuated it as:
A woman, without her man, is nothing.
However, all the female students wrote......
A woman! Without her, man is nothing!

'Scuse me, but later wasn't in the original sentence you gave.
I would've given a diffferent answer if it had been!!
Stoooooooopid sentence made no sense in the first place.

No diff - after or later - he still lost his head.
After which - supposedly he couldn't walk or talk.
