Hello Khe1,
I've noticed that sometimes the written English instructions for items, that were made in China, have words flip-flopped in a way that makes you stop and think about what they're saying. It can be both annoying and entertaining sometimes. Was your Keurig made in China?
Maybe they had limited space for the brew message, and they could only use two words. They probably had a choice between "Brew Ready" and "Ready Brew," and they chose that instead. I wonder if it would have been good enough if they had just used the word "Ready" and left it at that.
I totally understand how something like that can annoy you. I doubt that there is a way to change it. As time goes on, it won't bother you as much, because you'll eventually get used to it.
In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the coffee that your Keurig machine makes.
