More Than One Error Has Occurred
I need to find the publishing house behind the standard developer dictionary and burn it down.
The development team behind this Craftsman NASCAR sweepstakes misspell occurred. I don’t know why developers commonly misspell this word. Are they copying and pasting it from the same Platonic nearly-ideal error message? Is it misspelled in a default message in every IDE known to man? Is it some hopeful invocation that the occult will cure the problem? Who can read the minds of developers? Whenever I try, I get gibberish interspersed with attention to shiny things.
When you’re testing out your application’s validation, watch for the single-R occured. You will see them everywhere.
