>‘Leader’ and „Leiter” share the same etymology, „Führer” does not.

You're not being pedantic, you're introducing an unnecessary element. The etymology of a word isn't relevant in determining its current meaning. Führer is usually translated as leader and there is nothing wrong with that translation.

In German, yes. In English, the first association is Hitler.

httpswitchboard looks like a very interesting extension. I haven't payed attention to what's happening with Chrome the last couple of years, but does this mean that you can finally genuinely block requests with Chrome extensions (something that has long been a problem with Chrome's Adblock extensions)?

>Seems a reasonable title to me

To you it might, but to any linguist this is as ridiculous of a title as saying "English people originated in Africa". You will imediatelly think "wait, but the actual ethnogenesis happened nowhere close to Africa, so why would one say 'English people'? it's not useful to reference it".

It's the same with this title. It's as useful as saying that Farsi originated in Turkey. Or any language descended from PIE, for that matter.

Not even the separation into IE families like Germanic, Balto-Slavic, etc. happened at that time. Not even Anatolian had separated from IE. Yet the title references the ''English'' language.

>Obviously other languages originated there

No, the thing is, they didn't. Nor did English.

What originated there is an ancestor of a group of languages.

>If the typical American isn't prospering, what good is it?

Well, neither is the typical Swede. They have an astronomical housing bubble that's just waiting to burst, the average household has a debt around twice the income, while the gap between rich and poor has been widening for a long time now.

It's not all roses and relative to where they are, most seem to be preparing for worse days ahead, rather than better ones.

>This is like the browser saying "Starbucks" rather than "Starbucks, 3-1202 21st E, Falseville BC".

Is it? What if "Starbucks" were your bank? What if you knew that apart from your bank there's non-bank entities mimicking your bank's looks in an effort to get your personal information? Would location still be irrelevant?

>"A web and software developer in Africa earns from $10,000 to $20,000 dollars per annum whereas their colleagues in Europe and the US earns at least $100,000 dollars per year."

Either he doesn't consider Eastern European softwware developers as colleagues or he thinks all of Europe is London, which it certainly isn't. The upper limit he gave is more than most Eastern European developers make.
