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. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/parse So you have taught me something, and I wouldn't argue about that!
