I've discovered that every TRUE program has a little ghetto in them...

Sorry dude, but that is word just trying to correct as best it can a bad sentence.

You should loose the error, and make more sense if you get rid of the " 's " off of "self".

I can see why you would put an s there, as I too write like I would speak, but I often find the things I say, aren't actually the way they should be written, if that makes sense.

Maybe you should take this up with Microsoft, see what they have to say.
