Importance of Error Messages

.NET gave me an error… A ‘Catastrophic failure‘.
What’s this? Did somebody ran out of inspiration? Every failure is bad! Should I now throw error messages at users stating:
- Disastrous failure.
- Terrible failure.
- Awful failure.
- Dreaded failure.
One of my hard disks crashed two days ago. That is a catastrophic failure!
