Terminological Inexactitude

When Winston Churchill used this phrase in 1906 in his speech to the House of Commons, he probably did not have in mind the construction of language contained in a deed. Nevertheless, terminological inexactitude in drafting a reservation from conveyance or an exception to the conveyance can make a difference. The drafter might accidentally accomplish what he or she set out to accomplish - but then again, maybe not. Griswold v. EOG Resources, Inc., 459 S.W.3d 713 (Tex. App – Fort Worth 2015, no pet.) is illustrative of this point.
