punctuations
Sometimes I forget to add punctuations or do not use them properly when I write somethings, and do not think that is a big thing. Untill I knew the folling jingle:
我知道你不知道我知道你不知道我知道你不知道
My teacher told me if I put different Chinese punctuations in diferent positions of this sentence, then I would get different meanings. So how do you think ?

Corbin is right, that's why I suppose we need punctuation in all written languages to express properly. see below 2 examples,being taught to me while I was a kid. see the differences!
A) 路不通行，不得在此小便； 路不通，行不得，在此小便。
B) 下雨天留客，天留我不留； 下雨天，留客天，留我不? 留!

Punctuation can definitely completely change the meaning of what you are saying in English. I don't know much about Chinese punctuation yet though.
