There's an English error on the very first sentence of the description on the Microsoft site.

The correct usage would be to talk about an error "in" a sentence, not "on" a sentence.
Muphry's law get you every time!

Surely you didn't mean too but the correct tense of "get" on you're sentence would be "gets"
> on you're sentence would be "gets"
this just gets better and better

More accurately, Skitt's Law (which is mentioned in that Wikipedia article).
> Muphry
Sems like it got you too!
(Yes that was intentional
In this case the misspelling is actually the correct one. HN has shortened the link in GPs post but if you follow it you'll see it spelled "Muphry's law", and it is a separate one from the general one that everyone knows about.
That said it wouldn't surprise me at all if I've misspelled something here : )
The error is a missing word if anyone is wondering.
