Titera Tidbit: Bug
In the sense of a technical defect, this useful word is often attributed to Grace Murray Hopper, who invented the first large-scale computer for the U.S. Navy in 1945. When the machine stopped working, she found a moth in the works and taped its body to her lab report, captioning it "a bug in the computer." However, Thomas Edison had used "bug" half a century earlier to describe the "little faults and difficulties" that drive inventors and engineers batty.
