Well I am not sure how to take this, I am hoping I have it right, in which case Yes!! ;):)
I know what you mean! But one instance we are both familiar with.
Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
Dispie: "I don't agree with your interpretation of 'this'... or 'all'"
Us: We didn't interpret it, we read it! ;)
 

Ecclesiastes 1​

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

The thing is true - that is the wording of the English translation; however, remember also the importance of the meaning of each-and-every word in the original Greek. The real misunderstanding is not with the word 'This' or the word 'all'; rather, it is with the words 'be fulfilled'. The meaning of the Greek words that are translated into 'be fulfilled' actually make the ending phrase to mean "till all these things begin to be fulfilled"... ;)
