The Daily WTF's weekly Error'd column, curated by Lyle Seaman, ran on 2026-08-28 and collects reader-submitted software glitches.
Reader Peter G. sent in a language selector whose entries appear in no discernible order, prompting the joke that users have to hunt for their own language like an Easter egg.
Peter S. flagged a Google interface where the displayed numbers don't add up. Another reader called it fresh proof that 0 equals 1.
Ivan described trying to report a failed email delivery to Outlook: the process demands a Microsoft account, first refuses to create one over "suspicious activity," then pre-fills the contact form with an invalid address. Even after fixing that address through the browser's developer tools, the form still won't submit.
A screenshot titled "Mango Math" showed a cheesecake priced at 3 pence per gram instead of per slice, drawing a joke from reader Michael R. about buying it "by the slice" instead. British pence, unlike the old pre-decimal shillings, run one hundred to the pound.
Reader Clint received a promotional email from Bigbadtoystore advertising several items available for preorder, but every link behind them was dead, a jab the column ties to the same kind of sloppy web work behind the New Mexico Department of Transportation site referenced in the headline.
