    This is really, “what techs call it” and “what non-techs call it”.

    As a tech, I usually know what someone means when they “app”.

    It’s “glitch” that drives me mad though. Glitch sounds like a ghost caused the error one tine only, versus some lazy coder.

      To be fair i would consider a glitch to be closer to a ghost causing it than a lazy developer.

      I consider a “bug” to be something caused by the code (bad error handling, bad logic, etc) and a “glitch” to be something more random or environmental
