		> They went to Oregon with Betty, the maid, and the cook. Betty could be the maid. English meaning depends partly on word order: `They went to Oregon with the maid, Betty, and the Cook.` Still ambiguous. `They went to Oregon with the maid, the cook, and Betty They went to Oregon with the maid, the cook and Betty` In the former, I suppose the maid might be the cook also. The latter moves more easily and with less ambiguity.

		If Betty was the maid, I would write… `They went to Oregon with Betty the maid and the cook.`
