horn do you live in the states or in Europe? That may be the reason in semantic differences.

I think you should take a course in sight-singing. Many music conservatories have extension divisions. You would also meet other students who share your love of singing. Call and speak to an advisor and let them guide you. Best of luck.

...hmm
i strongly believe you can aquire perfect pitch. If you practice long enough, (like TheHornSupremacy said)
but i still believe that both perfect pitch and relative pitch can be learned. I used to not be able to sing an F# after being sung a C. but now i can. If i learned how to do that, whats stoping me from recognizing a train whistles pitch? I wouldnt say i have perfect pitch u>yet, but i believe i have good relative pitch.
my trumpet professor has told me he used to not have perfect pitch, and now, he can sing any note if asked. He is also the ear training sight singing prof. at my college

I know several people who have perfect pitch. All of them tell me it cannot bo taught. You can be taught varying degrees of relative pitch.

How would someone born with perfect pitch know whether or not it can be learned? Those people were never faced with the task of learning perfect pitch so they wouldn't know if someone not born with perfect pitch could learn it.

Perfect pitch is like colarblidness or I guess a better example would be tone deafness. You can't "learn" to be either one. I've been in music for 40 years and I've NEVER met anyone who "learned" perfect pitch.

"The ability to identify any pitch heard or produce any pitch referred to by name."
thats the dictionary's definition of perfect pitch. now are you saying that someone can't do that, if they weren't given the right genes? I doubt that. Maybe you're just not talking to the right people.. lol.
"I know several people who have perfect pitch. All of them tell me it cannot bo taught. You can be taught varying degrees of relative pitch. "
why cant someone learn to... identify any pitch heard or produce any pitch referred to by name. ??
you're saying they can only come so close, but can never do as well as someone who was "born" with it?
i don't think there is a "perfect pitch gene" anyways.. but hey i might be wrong, but if you think so.. i want evidence 
http://www.unconservatory.org/perfect_pitch/2.html
i found that site.. I don't know.. i still believe that someone can practice enough to get an ear to...identify any pitch heard or produce any pitch referred to by name
