Mark,
I agree with you, and must summise that you have been a professor at some point in you life. :)
It seems that words alone have no real significance, but when strung together in a phrase, that changes.
"mother"
"your mother"
"your mother is a"
"...."
unless the last word is "saint", the final phrase is what really causes the problem.
There's a new book out called (I'm nervous to post it here, even though it exmplifies exactly what you've stated) - I'll post the link.
It's controversial, I'm sure, and I have not read it, but it does provide a forum for discussion on this subject, and actually refutes my comments. Hmmm...
