I understand that it's not always easy to see how language works in the mind, which is why I suggested the Lakoff book. It's a simple book about the complex issue of linguistics and how it effects people, using PR campaigns to demonstrate the power of the word.

I've read that book -- it's one of my favorites -- and I agree with the commenters above. In fact, I think it's good marketing strategy by inviting and legitimizing.
