This is what I mean. I just read a question about a girl that says her husband is unhappy because she does not provide the "finacial stability" that he needs. Most people that answered assumed that he expects her to make all the money and to give it to him, or some variation of it. My problem is that finacial stability could also mean that she is spending to much money, and he is unhappy because of it. She could have worded the question that way to justify her bad habit and make herself feel better when everyone on Yahoo! supported her.
Do you hate those special wordings? Can you give some examples?

conundrum: She said provide finacial stabilty not financial provider. English is a very specific language, that is why lawyers make so much money.
