Syntax and semantics

Isn’t it interesting to consider that we have systems that determine if a sentence is syntactically correct? You can plug in whichever nouns and verbs you like and the sentence will work.

We also have systems that determine if a sentence is semantically correct. Whether the words that are used make any sense and mean things that we understand.

With these systems, we can choose whichever nouns and verbs we like and plug them in where they belong and construct all kinds of interesting thoughts.

Sometimes the thoughts are out of place, totally random, and don’t seem to have much purpose. Like this flying ice cream cone… err blog post. I chose the correct word syntactically, by semantically it made no sense. See how fun that is?
