Although some linguists do advocate a form of this, many linguists reject this as being too simplistic.[b] For instance, just because a language does not formally distinguish "he" vs. "she" in their personal pronouns does not mean that speakers do not distinguish and treat men and women differently. Similarly, just because English lacks a formal hodiernal tense does not mean that English speakers cannot distinguish events which occur "today" versus those on another day. Examples of folk etymology such as interpreting asparagus as "sparrow-grass".[b] These are cases where speakers deduce an incorrect word origin.
