In that case misplaced modifiers will really mess with you. Most often I find that it's fucked up punctuation that changes things up and makes it confusing.
I have been accused of being pedantic more than a few times. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you're writing professionally, you should have an editor read your shit. At a minimum you should read and reread what you wrote before it goes public.
Agree - especially spelling errors.
