This Error Just Popped Up on My Screen

   Posted by: TimMc   in Oops, Proofreading

My laptop ran one of its annoying updates the other day and this unsightly little dialog box appeared on my screen. My initial reaction was, “good grief, I can’t believe they missed that mistake.” My second reaction was, “hey, I need to save that for the blog!” So, I quickly did a screen capture and voila, we have Compaq/HP’s mistake captured for all to see, haha.

So, do you think they have a proofreader or do they just rely on their spell checkers? This is a classic spell checker mistake. The word ‘and’ is spelled correctly, but it’s the wrong word to use in this sentence (’an’ is the word they were looking for there).

Anyhow, just thought I’d share. Have a great weekend!
