Ah!  I'll certainly accept that.  I took it to mean:
1. (linguistics) To resolve into its elements, as a sentence, pointing out the 
several parts of speech, and their relation to each other by government or 
agreement; to analyze and describe grammatically.

I.e. to deconstruct and understand.

I didn't know the meaning:
2.(computing) To split a file or other input into pieces of data that can be 
easily stored or manipulated.

So you have taught me something, and I wouldn't argue about that!
