Editing some more crap 3rd-party source-code today, I came across the following message in the login form:

It probably just means that the software was written by a non-native speaker. And of course companies are too cheap to hire a consultant to fix the English.

Then again, some of the idiomatic and cutesy error messages written by native speakers aren't any better. You do have to consider that the error messages have to be parsed by people all over the world, most of whom are far from native speaker level, for whom idiomatic English is no better than gobbledygook.
