Knot

Thank you for your patience.


Knot has two meanings. 

  • The first is the union of two end of a rope by tying them. For example, when you go to climb, you make a knot to secure yourself and not fall.
  • The other meaning, refers to a unit of speed, frequently used in sailing. It is the unit that you may find in Verne's books, and it is equal to one nautical mile per hour. (1852 km/h)

Glitch

The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery', possibly entering English through the Yiddish term glitsh.... but.... does it really matters?
A glitch is a little malfunction of a system, however it is most usually used in electronics, circuits and programming.  A transient in a electric circuit may be called a glitch, a small fault in programming, too.  Many electronic components, such as flip-flops, are triggered by a pulse that must not be shorter than a specified minimum duration; otherwise, the component may malfunction. A pulse shorter than the specified minimum is called also a glitch.
