Got a big 404 on that.

Somebody ought to teach photo.net how to write error messages, and the
rudiments of English grammar. Their message is

"Problem with Your Input
We had a problem processing your entry: 
This photo doesn't exist. (The owner has probably deleted it.) 
Please back up using your browser, correct it, and resubmit your
entry. "

I can't begin to count the number of ways in which that is wrong.

But let me try.

"Problem with your input" - blame the user

"We had a problem processing your entry" My entry? Is that the same as
my input, or are there 2 problems? Which is it - input or entry?
Besides, I didn't enter anything, and I don't think I provided any
input. I clicked a link.

"This photo doesn't exist" - bad grammar. 'This' photo must exist.
Besides,  I asked for a page, not a photo. If the page I asked for
doesn't exist, don't use 'this'.

"Please back up using your browser, " Uh? What does that mean? Do I
have to restore using my browser too?

"correct it, " - correct my browser? There's something wrong with my
browser too? 

"and resubmit your entry" - but you told me you had a problem
processing it. What's changed that I should resubmit it?
