American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 

is′su·er n.

is′sue·less adj.

Usage Note: 

People often use issue to refer to 

a problem, difficulty, or condition, 

especially an embarrassing or discrediting one. 

 

The word is frequently used in the plural. 

Thus, a business executive who has been accused of fraud 

is said to have legal issues, 

a company facing bankruptcy has financial issues, 

and a person who picks fights may have anger management issues. 

 

Some people dislike this usage, 

claiming that it is imprecise or euphemistic. 

 

The majority of the Usage Panel frowned on it in 2002, 

but in just over ten years, opinion has shifted 

such that a majority now find it acceptable. 

 

In our 2013 survey, 78 percent of the Usage Panel accepted issue in these examples: 

That kid has issues and needs to see the guidance counselor. 

I don't want to hire someone who has issues with carrying out orders from an authority. 

 

Although the acceptance was lukewarm 

(about a third of the panelists found these sentences 

only "somewhat acceptable"), 

this is a substantial increase over the 39 percent 

who accepted similar sentences in 2002. 

 

A similar shift of opinion has occurred 

concerning the use of issue for a technical problem.

 

In 2002, only 18 percent of Panelists approved of the sentence 

There were a number of issues installing the printer driver in the new release of the software. 

By 2013, approval had risen to 68 percent. 

 

Although issue is now widely acceptable, 

choosing another word, 

such as glitch, problem, or complication, 

can often lend precision to your writing.
