I suppose it's a perfectly proper Latinate form for a loanword into English, but it seems wrong. Shouldn't it be "igniter"?
It definitely shouldn't be this hard to replace, or have to be replaced so often (every year or two years since we bought the dern thing). Still, it could be worse.
And today, for the first time ever, it was me replacing it instead of Kathe. Made me feel very accomplished, once I was done snarling and cussing and then done feeling guilty over making such a fuss over getting such a simple job done.*
* Kathe made me feel much better by admitting that the reason she usually changes the glowbar while I am out of the house is so she can get her own cussing and snarling done while I'm not there to hear it.
Oh, and I also just put myself laboriously through the process of checking my bank balance over the phone and double-checking it online, processes so extremely elementary that the bank doesn't even have a tutorial for it. But I managed to pull it off anyhow. And as a bonus, I confirmed that it really does hold a whole $125 more than I thought it did -- bills I thought were going to have to be deferred can be paid on time!
