@seveibar do let me know if you would like changes to this

Hey sorry for the delay @ChiragAgg5k ! The Received "soup" part is throwing me off. What if it was:

Function not found for footprinter "invalid". Specify a valid function like .dip, .lr, .p etc.

Also when you PR this please add a test that shows it works!!! ty!!

If you ever need a faster response, you can always ping me on the discord as well!!!
