The same problem occurs with whole sentences, not just words. Take the
old adage about how quickly time goes by when one is engaged in a
pleasant activity: "Time flies when you're having fun."
But this can also be an imperative to engage in silly measurements of
insect velocities when one is pleasantly occupied: "Time flies when
you're having fun."
