I'm currently updating the forms UI across an application, specifically around obvious but friendly error handling.
I'm keen to keep the language relatively simple, using the common pattern of [object] [error].
I also wanted to make the errors glaringly obvious when the system returns them yet not overwhelm the user. By aligning the errors directly next to the field, it guides the user to error quickly and effectively.
I am using the beautiful form styles from the Twitter Bootstrap for a form-heavy site I'm building at the moment. You should take some cues from there.

There are some nice ideas in the Bootstrap library actually - I never thought of checking there for inspiration.
