"Context dependent" is basically the definition of ambiguity. | ||

No, I'd say ambiguous means "context dependent" and the context is unclear. Pronouns like you/me/he/she/they/them are context dependent in everyday English writing but they're only ambiguous when the context is unclear, otherwise most people have no trouble dealing with them at all! | ||

I guess what I’m saying is that since there’s always a context, ambiguity stemming from uninspired naming is never an issue in practice. | ||
