One thing that's always nagged me about the Sphere review:

"Okay, then, so why weren’t all the REST of the ‘H’s and ‘A’s mis-keyed as well? Why, using only the principals the movie itself is putting forth, didn’t the initial message read:

"JALLO. JOW ERA YOU? I EM FINA. WJET IS YOUR NEMA? MY NEMA IS JERRY."

The book clearly states that Harry subconsciously only changed the two letters in the name. This is why the non-scientist was able to figure out that the translation was wrong.
