Most people probably believe that each word has a meaning, and putting
words together adds their meanings to create a sentence.
This is provably false, however:
This is hot.
Is this hot?
Same three words, but one is a statement, the other is a question.
To me, the weird thing about language is that just changing the order of
words can totally transform the meaning of the sentence...
