Error? There's no error. As many people have said before, the current log
message is correct.
PEBKAC.
It really doesn't matter how many people say it. The words are defined
in any English dictionary, and the log message is an incorrect
description of what is being done. But it's a free world - you do have
the option to dwell in ignorance.
Actually, the English of the log message is grammatically correct. But
it is misleading, because humans have limitations and don't always parse
grammar correctly.
Personally I'd like to see a log message like this:
Tue Nov 15 20:31:33 NTPD clock is 60.000356s off, adjusting by 0.0128s
