Usage of the word "glitch"
I have been attending few speech sessions lately where I found the word "glitch" as being referred to human mistake or error. I couldn't help but search its usage all over the web. All I found was, it is used to refer a fault in electronics, computers, video games, TV etc. So, I want to get an opinion regarding this: Is it okay to use "glitch" to refer human faults, or should it only be used for electronics/system faults?
I'm afraid glitch can only be used in terms of programs or machinery.
a sudden, usually temporary malfunction or fault of equipment
Human faults are more commonly referred to as mistakes, not glitches.
I don't agree with the above answer. If a glitch is used to describe a temporary error or malfunction of equipment or machins, there is no reason why we cannot use it to describe a human error as human beings and machines have many things in common.
The language is evolving like a human being and as long as evolving people can understand the word as "human error or human mistake", definitely it can be used to describe it.
