Heh I know it's really minor and stupid, but:
"The selected download cannot be found within the database, It may of been removed by its author or the administration team."
See if you can spot the grammatical error...
This is the text that appears obviously when a download has been removed, and it sounds sort of OK when you read it, but there's a serious error in there.

I assume you're talking about the 'of'? That's actually a common mistake, I've seen a lot of people type that, my friend used to do it and it got on my nerves so I had to prove to him it was wrong, but he still didn't stop doing it so I murdered him with a small hatchet and buried his pieces under a local football pitch.

I can see how you could say "of" instead of "have" when not pronunciating, but typing it is a bit odd.

Well it's correct to abbreviate to "may've" or "would've" etc. which sounds like "may of" or "would of" so maybe that's why so many people get it wrong.

i resent the improper spelling of Programmers' Union, which requires the apostrophe as demonstrated.

I also resent the fact that it isn't a real union and thus are open to exploitation from buggy code and viruses.
