A fallacy that I pick is ambiguity. Ambiguity fallacy is when someone is confused with what was being said. A word or phrase that was being misunderstood or unclear to the other person. For example, a person said to the other person that “he was hunting a deer in a pajamas”. Now that sentence is unclear. Was the person hunting the deer wearing a pajamas or was the deer was in the pajamas?

This fallacy was also one of my favorites because it was simple and straight forward as well as easy to understand
So I understand the definition of this fallacy. I liked the example you gave because it does get you confused about what is really the message of the sentence.
I liked the example you used to explain the fallacy ambiguity.
I like your example for your fallacy and it reminds me of math tests. The exams would always have questions worded incredibly weird and I would spend a majority of my time on that one question only to get it wrong because I did not understand the way they phrased it.
