Re: Surnames
Kathie:
Sometimes the source of the confusion is in this fact: The seeds
inside the pumpkin "701 Morgan" are also called "701 Morgan"... The
same nomenclature is used for the pumpkin and the seeds. The context
resolves the ambiguity:
Consider this sentences:
"The 701 Morgan is bright orange..."
"The 701 Morgan is white and little..."
Is this contradictory? No. In the first case, surely the 701 is a pumpkin.
In the second case, knowing the color of the pumpkin, surely the 701 is
one of the seeds of the 701...
