Like ambiguous statements, using correct punctuation is crucial in order to avoid confusion and misunderstanding. Some alternate meanings are fine but some are not so fine. Here is an example of one.
"Southern Cook'in"
For American's, this is something usual for them as it means that this restaurant serves food from the Southern parts of the country. However, for other people from other parts of the world may initially make a wrong assumption that patrons would have to cook the food themselves in the restaurant. Perhaps it may have chased off some customers, we will never know.
