We always like to give you the historical perspective on our stories, so just to show that it wasn’t the TXT MSG generation that invented bad grammar, Grant Carson at SITA suggests the earliest ungrammatical error message he can think of.
‘IBM’s RACF mainframe security package tells me: “Your password will expire in one days”. It has been this way ever since I can remember, about 20 years, and is still there.’
