You know how sometimes we learn something new and it marks an elemental point in consciousness? We learn something so amazing that its sheer existence wobbles and/or boggles the mind? I came across one just now.

 

 

Did you know that in Alcohol, the burning software, you will get this titled dialog box if you try to erase a disc without a disc in the drive?

 

 

"Please insert an blank disc into the following CD/DVD-Recorder to continue."

 

 

Granted, the developers are German, so, that can explain the "an blank" grammatical error. But, the rest is sheerly a simple logic error! In order to use the drive for the disc erase function you have initiated, you must first insert a blank disc, which is already erased or not erasable if it is a WORM, in order to use it? So, the erase function will only work for discs that have already been erased?
