Of course, though some people seem to try their best to do so... ;-)
I meant that, IMHO, the cleaner way to notate such a situation is to use 
separate voices - after all, no singer should be able to sing two notes 
at once. In contrast to, say, a violin, which typically have a single 
note, but I've heard that sufficiently capable violinists are able to 
play (intentionally) (some well-chosen) chords.
