UFC typo: EAAOA instead of ERROR

I'm pretty sure the word ERROR never comes up on the scratchpad, and that it's EAAOA instead. If you look at the UFC font, A and R are very easy to tell apart, as seen in this screenshot (compare T/R to the word ERROR that should be displayed):

This seems to be a result of the way the scratchpad on the UFC probably works. It appears to be a segmented display, rather than a bitmapped device. Only the first two possible characters are alphanumeric, and the remaining seven are numeric only, according to NATOPS. The 'A's or 'R's are '8's with the bottom segment unlit. The option display windows to the right have a different segment layout, so can show more characters.
