I guess someday the machine will be sophisticated enough to recognize your preference, and adjust accordingly:

    "That PIN code isn't valid, s**thead. Try not to 
     f**k it up this time."
What a wonderful future it will be! ;-)

The machines in Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy had "Genuine People Personalities", a big feature of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Maybe with computer error messages there should be different message translations sent out based on browser capabilities and geographical location.
