Guide the rest of us bumbling fools that don't even know what glibc does, just blindly install whatever library the article or forum says

glibc == gnu C library

It is the standard C library used on GNU/Linux systems. Basically, it is very important. I've also heard that the code is a rats nest. I wish standard distros would move to musl libc.

Oh boy if you're particular about spelling, Middle English would drive you crazy. There's almost no consistency with spelling. Scribes would just write what they heard so it's mostly phonetic unlike modern English.
