Vocabulary pet peeve: celibacy is refraining from getting married, NOT 
refraining from sex (chastity is refraining from sex). I discovered this 
when learning about a priest who entered a marriage of convenience to 
get out of a political prison; he was defrocked for violating his vow of 
celibacy, even though he never even physically met his wife.
