In working with someone who posted on the forum about screwed up relationships, I found that _part_ of the problem was not understanding the options.
Changing some text variables would help. Suggest for English:
$pgv_lang["add_father"] = "Add a new person as father";
$pgv_lang["add_mother"] = "Add a new person as mother";
$pgv_lang["add_new_chil"] = "Add a new person as child";
$pgv_lang["add_new_husb"] = "Add a new person as husband";
$pgv_lang["add_new_wife"] = "Add a new person as wife";
$pgv_lang["link_new_husb"] = "Link an existing person as husband";
$pgv_lang["link_new_wife"] = "Link an existing person as wife";
$pgv_lang["add_child_to_family"] = "Add a new person as child to this family";

Wes your suggestion may be good, or not - I'm not commenting on that - but any use of language is always highly debatable. I find the easiest solution is to simply create an "extra.en.php" file (in the languages folder) and put in all and any alternative language elements I want. Beats waiting for consensus on your suggestion, then someone interested enough to make the change.
