Even within Europe there are many different words used for water, very cool! This is not a comprehensive list:

  Germanic - wasser/water/voda/woda
  French - eau
  Italian/Spanish - aqua/agua
  Greek - nero (νερό)
  Danish - vand
  Romanian - apă
  Latvian - udens
  Turkish - su
  Welsh - dwr

The Danish belongs in the "Germanic" list; as does the Norwegian "vann" and "vatn" (the latter also Faroese, Icelandic, Norn), and Swedish "vatten".

The Romanian and French both comes from the latin aqua, just like the Italian/Spanish.

Thanks for this!

Looking into it a bit more, the French is also from the latin source (aqua) - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eau

The Welsh suggests the Ancient Greek "hudor".

That resemblance is coincidental: hudor derives from Proto-Indo-European *wed- (as does English water, wet, winter) while dwr derives from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewb- "deep" (as does English dip, deep) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-Eur... https://www.etymonline.com/word/*wed-

The Irish uisce is the source for the English word whiskey.

Adding Basque to your list, the word is ur. (I don't know Basque, just looked it up.)

It is strange to see Slavic lumped in with Germanic. Is this common practice?

Both come from PIE "wódr" for water. Romance languages descended ftom a synonym "ekeh" which resulted in aqua/agua/eau/... and the word itself meant "a body of water" like a lake or a river iirc.

I only meant this as "similar to the Germanic", I don't know enough to give this category a proper name

> File management is done by Finder and there is some very strange things. For example to enter a file (open it) you do not use the enter key but cmd+down and enter is for renaming (wtf!).

It definitely takes time to adjust for things. This example I find funny because to me the mac method makes sense. Cmd + Up/Down to go up or down file hierarchies, and Cmd + Down will also open files. For Windows it is Alt + Up to go up, but Enter to go down or open file. I find the symmetry of the mac binding more simple, but that doesn't mean that I don't adjust over time when on Windows.

Another bonus RE keybindings is that there are a number of system shortcuts that you can very easily change to your liking through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, without any additional software.

In windows I usually use enter to enter a folder and backspace to back out.

It’s not exactly up/down semantic as backspace will go back to the place you entered from (eg. search) rather than the logical parent directory. But this still makes much more sense to me than MacOS.

The alt tabbing and window switch/minimize/group behaviour in MacOS is quite confusing too!

Is the feature you mean called Sets?

Looks like it was removed from Windows preview due to feedback, they may be reworking it in the background.

There's probably a worse way this year could have ended, but for me, right now, I don't see that universe

For me, for the rare time I need Edge, typing 'edge' will not show me the Edge browser. It offers an internet search for that word, however if i stop at just 'edg' it will correctly suggest the Edge browser.

There are many similar examples with this same pattern.

I have had that problem with windows settings, internal programs and external programs. Wtf is wrong with windows' search?

Nice one !

Why was I downvoted?
