    Inspired, yes. But uber is still not a German word.

    Imagine if I founded a company called “Tougt” and claimed this is an English word. Not inspired by, is. Who needs the letter ‘h’ anyways?

      I fail to see how it matters that a word commonly known as “german” is not directly German but instead is one step removed.

      They could have just as easily pulled another easy-to-grok word from German and slightly changed the spelling.

      Those arguing about this technicality here are missing the point.
