You know what gripes me? The use of the word 'glitch' to describe the software problems in the Toyotas: "Experts say a glitch in Toyota's "Electronic Throttle Control System" would be much more expensive and problematic than faulty floor mats. " To my mind a glitch is a minor bug that doesn't affect the functionality of a program - an annoyance, for which there is a convenient workaround until the 'glitch' can be corrected. This seems to be a mission critical software problem. Not, IMO, a 'glitch'. r
