Is it possible that your writing is sometimes confusing?  You do realize 
that words such as them, they, those and so on have no intrinsic meaning, 
right?  So I replaced them by x and updated the grammar so it still reads 
like English. .

Do you recognize this?

Oh yes and let me add too. x seems to have helped me but I will not
mention x because guess what? x are all wrong! Even though the compiler
accepts x and x seems to function!

Now what is x?  A book? A person?  A program fragment?  A computer language? 
My guess is that there are at least two unknowns, an x and a y. But one 
"them" is indistinguishable from another "them", you see a distinction in 
your mind, you know what you mean.  But that is not very helpful to someone 
who can only see the words you type, not see into your mind..
