You're equating hearing a sentence, and understanding the literal words in it in two seperate ways....

...to hearing a sentence, and undrestanding it as a completely different statement and completely different words?

(paraphrasing)

"First time I'm really proud of my country" .... "First time I'm really proud of my country"

And

"I'll put his money to good use" .... "I'm a nazi!"
