This reminds me of the Rabanan Kaddish problem.
"mezona, revicha, upurkana min kadam d'avuhon" It means that food, profit and salvation come from before our Father.

Many sidurim are printed with U'purkana on a new line so reciters pause there, changing he meaning slightly.
"food, profit; And separate us from before our Father".

Hey--

I just checked your blog for the first time, and was flattered to see that the very top post on it was an advertisement for a post of mine.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
