English is a funny language. Consider:
Would you call church music organic?
How come it's father, mother, brother, but not sisther?
Why do doctors use a scalpel when they're not operating on your head?
Would you say that an engraver is a cemetery worker?
Isn't it macabre that slaughter is mostly laughter?
Wouldn't it seem that the opposite of formality should be casualty?
Don't sheep have to be deranged before shearing?
