Speaking of German grammar, I remember an example that was used as an argument for not dropping capitalization:
"Ich habe in Frankfurt liebe Genossen." (In Frankfurt I have dear comrades.)
versus
"Ich habe in Frankfurt Liebe genossen." (In Frankfurt I have enjoyed love.)
English can be tricky, too, though. Subtle changes in word order can completely change the meaning of a sentence.
