The German word "wählen" can mean
- to pick, to choose
- to elect
- to dial
The German word "Null" can mean
- zero
- loser, jerk
So, someone saying "Ich habe die Null gewählt" either means
- "I've dialed zero."
Or
- "I voted for that idiot."

The German word "Ungeheuer" means "monster".
The German word "ungeheuer" means "very".
So:
"Das Hemd steht dir ungeheuer gut"
means
"This shirt suits you very well"
But:
"Das Hemd steht dir Ungeheuer gut"
means
"This shirt suits you well, you monster"

I like "umfahren".
"Du solltest das Kind umfahren."
means
"You should run over the kid."
or
"You should drive around the kid."
I think there's no difference in writing, but the emphasis when saying the word is either on the first syllable or the second.
