I have been attending few speech sessions lately where I found the word "glitch" as being referred to human mistake or error. I couldn't help but search its usage all over the web. All I found was, it is used to refer a fault in electronics, computers, video games, TV etc. So, I want to get an opinion regarding this: Is it okay to use "glitch" to refer human faults, or should it only be used for electronics/system faults?

I'm afraid glitch can only be used in terms of programs or machinery.
Human faults are more commonly referred to as mistakes, not glitches.
