Yet another proof that English is an intrinsically ambiguous language: "Most also have a history of physically abusing women" … here "woman" is nominative or accusative? Note that "most" can refer either to cases or abusers. Growing old I find myself longing for the exactness of #latin which I despised when I was attending high schools

what? there's nothing ambiguous in that excerpt. most of the men referred to in the previous sentence have a history of abusing women. your sense of ambiguity is probably more of a "you-problem"

I meant that it could be a form intrisic ambiguity of the english language derived from not being inflexed, such as "let's eat grandma" vs "let's eat, grandma!". In #latin the first is "nonnam edemus", the second "nonna edemus".
