Hmm, I hear what you're saying; the only problem I have with `mistake' is that it has a less severe connotation (``oh dang; I made a mistake and ordered a coke instead of ginger ale...'', ``I made a mistake and burned the muffins...''). Maybe ``error'' is a better word. ``The software is full of errors.'' - Dan C.
