This paper intends to make a distinction between grammaticality and non-ungrammaticality with respect to the superficial errors made by native and non-native speakers. Non-ungrammaticality is, in principle, assumed by the hypothesis that native speakers are incapable of producing ungrammatical utterances in normal speech activities. This paper also delves into the neurophysiological status of anomalous utterances due to spoonerism, various types of aphasia, and online English text-chatting by entry-level non-native speakers of English. It is also suggested that some anomalous utterances do not relate to deficits in the faculty of language comprehension but rather look like some specific symptoms of Broca’s Aphasia.
