So odd.

 that's actually what the error is referring to... 
...but the user has no idea, they just get a lot of errors saying "not even"... it's "not even" their fault, its when one of our drivers malfunctions

I can't forget "Catastrophic failure." from Delphi 5. How somebody can support this? rsrsrs...

Error message syntax error
or
Error message add 1 for odd error and not even

Or that usual "Fatal Error" ... Should I look over my shoulder?

Prime example of a bad error message.

Maybe I'm just showing my age and where I went to High School (So. California) - but my first thought was that the message would be followed by "as if" and "gnarly" prompts.

 that's what came to mind when I first saw this error message...

Not even if you pay me?

My favorite all time error message on a program I worked on- "Shut 'er down Clancy, she's pumping mud." shown just before the program crashed. No other information. Good for a laugh, but not much else.

An internal tape drive with a power light started constantly flashing the power light. Having been in the Army, I recognized the light pattern: ... --- ... (SOS).

The tape drive was going bad, so the SOS was a good alert even though it did not give a hint to what the actual problem was.
|
|
|
|

I used to work at a tape drive manufacturer, and we had a whole list of LED error codes. SOS was not on the list, but I did see it once when I accidentally shorted two pins on the controller chip with a scope probe. I though that was cute, but it would have been more cute if it had spelled out the designer's name.

I like that one, actually.
The worst error message IMO remains "Abort, Retry, Fail?"

Yesterday evening, I told the VMWare tools of a virtual machine to shrink disk "C:" of that machine. It took extremely much time. When I looked through the log files this morning, I found the reason:
Sep 30 01:28:56.081: vcpu-0| Progress 101% (none)
Now I am 101% sure that the shrinking process has really been completed!

It seems they wanted to shrink it as much as they could, 1% extra. So, if it was a 500 gig disk, you get an additional 5 gigs free. 
|
|
|
|
|
Or your disk now has -5 gigs 
It's an OO world.

That turn of phrase gave me pause, it's more common to say "It took a lot of time." implying that in your opinion, it took much more time than you expected. So, what's syntactically wrong with your statement? Breaking it down, I found: nothing.
Thank you for inadvertently pointing out to a native English speaker, that sometimes he doesn't know his own language so well.
I've heard the phrase "I'm 110% sure that I'm right" several times. Which makes me 99% sure they are wrong in some way.
I remember a TV series, one of the characters can't forget. He was saying they tested him as a kid, again and again making the 99'th percentile. She said, "What's the matter, you couldn't reach 100?" He said, "There isn't a 100'th."
I knew that, but it made me feel better about my SAT's 98th percentile in math because it meant that maybe I was closer to 1.1% away from the top kid in the nation. I took the SAT's over 40 years ago. I'm quite sure my math has degraded since then. It doesn't matter what I scored as a kid.
I can't prove it, but I still think I am above the 50th percentile in math. It took me a week to convince a manager that the math was wrong, when I knew it was wrong within 10 seconds of reading the line of code. (I never said I was superior in English.  )

From one of our developers who should know better:
if (!pView)
{
pView->KillFuncHook();
return;
}

Some time ago I found a similar thing in our codebase. It looked something like:
if(table == NULL)
{
Log(GetFormatString("Table %d is NULL in funtion xyz!", table->Number));
return false;
}
Seemed like it had been there for years before fist being hit.
