This reminds me of a sad example of illiteracy from the Deep South, wherein a mother complained to the local school board regarding how her daughter's name was pronounced. Given that it was spelt "Le-a", people thought it was pronounced Leia. Nope. In the mother's words: "The dash don't be silent."
That's a bad warning! Futurama "Bender's Game" Ship's Computer (while beeping): Warning, out of dark matter fuel. Leela: That's not a warning. A warning is supposed to come before something bad happens. Ship's Computer (with a more stern alarm): Warning, engines will shut down in one second. Leela: That's more like it. [The ship's engines die and it abruptly comes to a stop, throwing the three crew members out of their chairs. The ship drifts into a shady looking area of space.]
