It depends. It can sometimes be humorous and fun if the meaning is changed. For instance I once, in my haste, typed "yolk" instead of "yoke".
Someone remarked that I looked like I had egg on my face...
Mea culpa and all that.
For example, in New York City, there is a field in Corona Park, Queens, that the city’s parks department has specifically set aside for legally flying model aircraft and drones. But it falls within the FAA’s rule of not flying within five miles of an airport. When we tested DJI’s newest Phantom 4 drone in the field, the control software kept telling us that we were too close to an airport and had to land our drone when we flew more than about 100 ft in the air

Personally I like being corrected if I'm wrong. It means I've learned something.

In simple terms, a ‘protected aerodrome’ is an aerodrome that has an Aerodrome Traffic Zone (ATZ) established around it, and so it is already recognised in aviation circles as an aircraft operating location that warrants some additional safeguarding.
If there is no one to contact in the ‘control tower’ (either because the unit is not being manned or because the aerodrome does not have such a unit in the first place), then you can fly within the Outer Zone, but you cannot fly within the Inner Zone (over the aerodrome) without first obtaining the permission of the aerodrome operator. In both cases, the 400 ft height restriction of Article 94A still applies.
