Context really is all-important.

Imagine, for example, this sign, which was found outside of a small American business.

"We would rather do business with 1,000 Al Qaeda terrorists than with a single American soldier."


The business was a mortuary.


Context really is everything!

I agree. Even more important is how a phrase can be interpreted through different contextual ideological perspectives.

You also wanna keep in mind proper punctuation! Imagine losing a comma in the sentence: "I helped my Uncle, Jack, off a horse".

There's a few other infamous ones, such as:

"Eats, shoots, and leaves" vs "Eats shoots and leaves"

as well as

"Lets eat Grandma!"  vs "Lets eat, Grandma!"

Works without punctuation. Capitalization is the one you need to watch out for.
