You can take your pick:
(1) Don't use "bug", use "fault" (an incorrect instruction or definition),
"failure" (an incorrect result), or "mistake" (a human action leading
to a failure). Paraphrased from
IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary
Standard 610, ISBN 1-55937-079-3
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc.
345 East 47th Street
New York, NY 10017-2394 USA
$49.50 (US$) for IEEE members
(2) Beizer, in a footnote on page 33 of the second edition of _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
_T_e_s_t_i_n_g _T_e_c_h_n_i_q_u_e_s says (paraphrased):
I'm sticking with "bug" because everyone knows what it means,
there are several "standards" for other terms that are incon
sistent with each other, the OED says that the conventional
computer meaning of "bug" is ancient, and short Anglo-Saxon
words are preferable to long Norman ones.
