Another goodie — word grouping:
In A’anim Z’miros, the following line exists:
??????? ??????? ???? ??????????? ????????? ??????? ??? ????????????
The proper reading is to group the first three words together. Far too many people, seeing eight words and having a tune with four “passages*” per line, see fit to put two words to each “passage.” That changes the meaning dramatically.

* Using the word “passage” out of sheer ignorance. If anyone knows the correct musical term, feel free to point it out.
