When good sentences go bad...

As I have mentioned previously, errors in grammar can unintentionally change the meaning of a word or sentence. Here's an example from Joystiq's preview of Bioshock 2:

As we were taking down a series of hallways, we'd catch a glimpse of her zipping around a corner, or maybe just her shadow.

From the context of the article, it is evident that the reviewer was led, or taken, down a series of hallways, though from the sentence, one could conclude that he was doing some kind of demolition work!
