At least console yourself that the programmer was having a really bad day when they wrote the error message, too. I know my error messages become more dispairing the more down I'm feeling.
It shows you the advantages of writing full senstences damn it, even in error messages. If it had said "Oh dear, I seem to have totally failed. Sorry." it might have been better. Or perhaps that's just me?
And news reports. I was listening to Radio 6 the other day, and it's really good, but every hour this woman comes on the radio and reads the news in a distinctive bbc-yoof style involving shouting and the the removal of all prepositions. It's the radio, damn it, not print. There's no need to shout, and if you didn't, you'd have more room for grammatical particles. Sorry, I seem to be ranting, which isn't what I wanted to do, at all.
*hugs*
