Windows 10: HAH, I Found A Typo In Windows!

jimbo45 · Jan 12, 2018

Hi Bree. Thanks for the reply.

But I also agree with you; British people have the original typo of using 's' instead of 'z'.
"unauthorised" should be "unauthorized" =þ

And having the typos of using the 's' instead of 'z' in certain words, should be unauthorized! =D hahahaha

And thanks for that link; I'm reading through it and seeing what it does. Default folders that are in my User folder, such as Videos, Documents, Images, etc are in that list. I was thinking of removing all these folders and just having the default operating system folders be protected for now. Give it a few days and see what it does. I read a bit from that post in the link you put above. Good info, thanks =)

Hi there

Licence / License etc etc.

If you've got time to look for that type of error !!!! 'Nuf said.

I've seen a load of large Software developments with international teams working on them -- With lots of people collaborating in a common language (usually English for people in Africa, USA, Europe etc) which isn't their native one typos will inevitably creep in -- also even if English is their first language they will still make mistakes.

I bet if you analyse say 100 posts on this forum you will certainly find a few typos. !!!
So long as documentation was readable I'd rather the product just WORKED!!

Hi @Fafhrd

try re-translating your post into George Orwell's Newspeak !!!!!

Canadian English: colour, US color.
Canadian English; cheque, US check (the money thing).

This is because UK & Canada(the UK's stepson) sticks to the Romance Language family(Vulgar Latin), and US English use the Germanic(Anglo Saxon) spelling.

And Internet Explorer always referred to 'Favourites' as 'Favorites' irrespective of UK English being set for the OS.... I'll get me coat. *chuckle

jimbo45: I have been using Windows for a very long time, since the late 1990s. And it, as of now, is a very famous and well known business. Yet I have never seen a typo in the operating system itself (like in the picture that I posted) until now. So I sure must say: That surprised me. That is why I made a post about it.

Not spelling but grammer.. er.. sorry, I mean grammar:

Has anyone noticed the text below the password prompt on the login screen?
'Did you forget your password?'

(Same using UK English language pack).
I know American tense usage can be confused/different to conventional UK English sometimes, so I'm wondering if that's American usage. The 'correct' text (UK version at least) would read:

'Have you forgotten your password'?

The present perfect simple (have + past participle) refers to time in the immediate or recent past with effect on the present (amongst other things). Thus it explains why someone can't log in if they've forgotten their password.

The past simple refers to a past finished event. E.g.
'Did you forget your password?'
'Yes, I forget it yesterday. I've just remembered it'.

So I was browsing around in Windows Defender (Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Open Windows Defender Security Center > Virus & threat protection > Virus & threat protection settings, then scroll down to Controlled folder access.)

The sentence "Protect your files and folders from unauthorized changed by unfriendly applications" has a typo in it.
(Refer to the attached picture)

Either:
• The word "changed" has a typo in it and should be the word "changes" (with an 's' instead of a 'd'), or
• There is at least one missing word in between the words "unauthorized" & "changed"
Somebody should inform Microsoft about this typo.

But Also: I noticed that this is a new option, since the last time I was browsing around in there. What does this option exactly do? It was originally off, but I turned it On. Yet I must say that I have seen a few messages pop up in the right corner of the screen, stating that Windows Defender blocked some programs from making changes. One of them showed explorer.exe from modifying the Favorites folder without me doing anything with Favorites. Exactly what does this option do? Is it kind of like some sort of strict "Firewall"? Because if so, then I like that.

Somehow forgot to post back last week. You can try Language Community App (from Insider Announcement):

Having the Local Experience Packs in the Microsoft Store allows us to take advantage of ML improvements and user feedback via Language Community App to release better translations more frequently. This will consistently improve the experience of our international customers with Windows.

I tried installing that app and signing in, but it just keeps taking me back to the sign in screen. I don't know what that is. If you have that app installed, maybe you can inform Microsoft about that small error. If you don't have that app installed, maybe somebody else who is reading this can do it.
