Sometimes someone will leave out a word, choose a word that maybe doesn't mean what they think it means, or just order the words oddly and then a sentence becomes word salad.

I can't remember where I found this, but it was illuminating:
"Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-color-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest, you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And as size comes before color, green great dragons can’t exist."

That may be overstating the case a little, but it's pretty neat. And the internet informs me that the quote is from Mark Forsyth's Elements of Eloquence.
