Got this during startup recently, thought it was rather strange:



WTF? Processeses??? I mean, obviously it's common knowledge that hackers can't spell, but I'm perplexed as to why Apple would release an operating system that prints unprofessional-looking error messages like that to the screen.

A Bible believer spelled it that way to infuriate you, rocket.

[P]

After shooting Lord of the Rings, Gollum apparently had some time over and worked at Apple writing error messages for some of the odder errors.

It's a typo. There are worse typos in the OS, particularly if you check the translations. The problem is that spell checking messages like this is tricky - it's most likely hardcoded in a C-file. If you're high enough up that you're in Interface Builder, I think that there is a spellchecker for it these days, but there is no spellchecker in vi.

LOL. Strange terminology in a C file? Inconceivable!
