   It's about semantics Craig .... and how a single word can actually mean   
   different things.   
      
   Grammatical sense, means a sentence to be a valid sentence needs to follow a   
   sensible framework with verb, nouns etc, and flow logically relevant to the   
   culture.   
      
   eg I went to the shop to buy a book. VS  I went to buy a book to the shop.   
      
   On the other hand, one can write a valid sentence/s that simply does not   
   make sense to another person. As in your "I'm not getting it" regarding what   
   I wrote above.
