i'm firmly convinced that it's a good thing to make up grammar 
terminology on your own. it's challenging, and it's a good training 
to grasp the grammar. the main thing is that we keep on understanding 
each other, and that we know where the standard definitions are (TKD).

"dangerous" is a dangerous word. it's problematic, complicated, 
difficult and challenging, but it's not dangerous.
