Pet peeve of the day: When my (or any) computer says something along the lines of, "The user 'kfox' does not exist."

This bugs me because the computer grants existence to the object by by making it the subject of the sentence, then denying that there is any such thing. More accurate would be to say, "The user 'kfox' cannot be found" or "'kfox' is not a valid user on this system."

Of course, these don't address the larger problem, which is that I am the user 'kfox' and whether I have an account is the issue, not whether or not I exist. I don't think my computer is qualified to tell me that, even if I did name it Descartes.
