As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I’d like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
Are you really going to argue this? Those accent marks aren’t in all languages, which is mainly why they removed them. If you want to claim this isn’t from the German word then you need to explain where it came from.
Removing the accent marks makes it such that the word isn’t German anymore, just German-inspired. It would have to be written “Ueber” instead.
You know, like a Mr. Böing founding the company Boeing.
