Yeah, I don't have the training to make the philosophy of language argument properly but I made a really basic dictionary definition stab at it because it was the first thing that leapt out at me too. Given that the course is called Ethics in Real Life though, I decided it was best not to skip over the ethical question entirely :) It just comes out as a bad argument either way, which is good - I think if the two had contradicted, I would have had to do some research on philosophy of language that I really don't have time for, given the submission date is today!
