use jargon dict to improve english please:)

     The relationship among bugs, features, misfeatures, warts, and miswarts
might be clarified by the following hypothetical exchange between two
hackers on an airliner:

     A: "This seat doesn't recline."

     B: "That's not a bug, that's a feature. There is an emergency exit door
built around the window behind you, and the route has to be kept clear."

     A: "Oh. Then it's a misfeature; they should have increased the spacing
between rows here."

     B: "Yes. But if they'd increased spacing in only one section it would
have been a wart -- they would've had to make nonstandard-length ceiling
panels to fit over the displaced seats."

     A: "A miswart, actually. If they increased spacing throughout they'd
lose several rows and a chunk out of the profit margin. So unequal spacing
would actually be the Right Thing."

     B: "Indeed."
