Comment (by azaozz):

 > Replace `Cheatin’ uh?` with friendlier error messages.

 Seems it is just me but `You don't have permission to do this.` doesn't
 sound friendly at all. It's the same as ''cheatin'' but colder, more
 "corporate" (as in John Connor vs. Skynet that would be a Skynet message)
 :)

 Can even sound somewhat threatening:

  Stop! You don't have permission to do this. You're under arrest!

 Wouldn't it be better to go with `Permission error` or just `Error`? All
 error instances have good explanations underneath, no need to have a
 global title for them?
