As a side, but IMO important, point of HCI: I'm convinced that “Sorry”
is not a word that should appear in error messages. The error should
make clear where the responsibility is, but not attempt to falsely
anthropomorphise the computer.
So in that respect, I see Stephen's versions of the error messages as
superior here.
