Right, correctness always has a context, eg. politically correct. Up in the Yukon, where men are men and so are the women, the db that says "my father says your mother wears army boots" is generally correct. Down south, it's not PC even if it is in fact correct as far as the db is concerned. It can be correct even if your mother doesn't wear army boots.
