YMMV.
DR - I see no reason you'd need to apologize for using the correct terminology - an igniter is an igniter - not a spark plug (my German is way too primitive to be able to determine if 'spark plug' is a translation error or sloppy journalism in the original).

Certainly not the first time an improperly secured igniter or borescope plug has come out and caused a problem. What I'm most curious about is why the overheat/fire warning went away - that's potentially a big problem.
