Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Previous discussion: #15887

 Specifically, I think comment:5:ticket:15887 sums up the purpose of the
 `ERROR:` prefix nicely:
 > All CAPITAL letters in a word
 [http://english.stackexchange.com/q/8672/3574 typically denotes Emphasis].
 It's not meant to be
 >
 > "Good day gentle, but incorrect, user - there seems to be an error. Be a
 sport and type in your e-mail address"
 >
 > But rather
 >
 > "HEY, USER! (yelling) THERE'S A PROBLEM! ATTENTION! ERROR. Type in your
 email address please"
