Yeah. Having worked in the cable industry for a long time, when I
see “jittery” I think of inconsistent network latency. :-P

I’d agree with Morten if “hinky” appeared in displayed text, but I’m
a lot more relaxed when it comes to comments. Now if it were to
cause confusion for non-US editors, changing it to “odd” or “weird”
would be OK.
