To Squanch or not to Squanch: That is the Squanch

I've been thinking about Squanchics (how we Squanch words) and language in general.
I really Squanch that it matters not if Squanch uses words we are familiar with when they are Squanching or writing. We can figure out what they mean Squanchively. It only takes a few clues.
Squanch this for an example: If someone told you that they love it when clowns juggle while riding a squanch, would you know what they were Squanching about? Squanch'd bet money that you would. There is Squanch more adaptable on God's Squanch earth than the human mind.
Have you ever Squanched how Squanch you actually Squanch every word in a sentence? You Squanch have to be a rocket Squanchist to realize that you actually Squanch a Squanch percentage of them.
By now, you should have Squanched out what the Squanching, basic idea of this post is, right?
Can you Squanch it in four words?
Bonus: Can you tell which animated TV series I've been watching?

Filling in the squanches with their implied meanings:
I've been thinking about semantics (how we understand words) and language in general.
I really believe that it matters not if someone uses words we are familiar with when they are talking or writing. We can figure out what they mean intuitively. It only takes a few clues.
Take this for an example: If someone told you that they love it when clowns juggle while riding a unicycle, would you know what they were talking about? I'd bet money that you would. There is nothing more adaptable on God's green earth than the human mind.
Have you ever wondered how often you actually read every word in a sentence? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that you actually ignore* a small* percentage of them.
By now, you should have figured out what the underlying, basic idea of this post is, right?
Can you name it in four words?

I’m really unsure about this, but is it the

Three words?
