I've read this book.
'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'
I learned that clauses have to be connected with conjunction.
Then, why that title is used?
1) Is it OK not to use conjuction if two clauses are the counterpart?
2) Is it OK not to use conjuction if two clasues are used as the tittle or in the poem?
3) Is it OK not to use conjunction if two clauses are the conterpart and at the same time if they are used as the title or in the poem? |

.
Book titles and other abbreviatory Englishes like headlines and roadsigns, are not required to follow the rules of punctuation as strictly as the body of a text.
However, a sentence of two clauses need not have a conjunction; semicolons are also used.
