Along the lines of what you point out, I've noticed that the word 'read' often causes misparsing - but you don't realize until you've read on for a bit more and realize that the sentence doesn't make any sense. At that point you read the sentence twice again and realize that it was using the other meaning of read.
This is something that I've run into commonly enough that I try to write 'read' only for the present tense 'read a book', and 'redd' for the past tense 'redd the email.'
