Homonym: glitch (Error)
A "glitch" refers to a temporary malfunction or irregularity in a system, often seen in technology and electronics. It can occur in software, hardware, or even video games, causing unexpected behavior or errors. For example, a game might freeze or display strange graphics due to a glitch.
Glitches can also happen in everyday life, such as when a machine fails to operate correctly. While they are usually minor and fixable, some glitches can lead to more significant issues if not addressed. Understanding glitches helps in troubleshooting and improving systems like computers and video games.
