About This Quote
When a person says something in a language that is grammatically correct, but they don’t understand what they are saying. For example, in the English language, there is a grammatical rule that states when a sentence has two people speaking at the same time but can only hear one person, you have to ask “which” which means you must reply to the person who is speaking. In this example, maybe the grammar was wrong but we could not know this would be put in a book someday.
