The better ones use context to determine which word you mean, Joe, but you are essentially correct. I have looked at some of the messages David is referring to, however and it is probably a translation issue in many cases. Like spell checkers, there are translators and then there are serious translators. There is a definite difference.
Then, unfortunately, we have all suffered from a case of fat fingering at times. But some of these messages don't make much sense at all. I'm not really sure why.

Examples are: there their, and patience patients. Correct me if I'm wrong.
