Phil,

I would appreciate if you explained why viewing *parts of speech* as 
innacurate (because it restricts the definition to utterances)and 
considering the term *word classes* (because this is just what 
grammars do - classsify words into morphological classes) would be 
consideredd *poor thinking.* What evidence supports your position?
