You cannot expect other countries to stop using normal words because they remind you of the bad things your country did.

Shame for what Germany did during the Nazi regime is something for Germans to bear, not Americans. We are not at fault for that, and we have no obligation to change our own culture to accommodate your guilt.

That’s quite a leap. The parent commenter didn’t call for them to withdraw the branding, they were just sharing something interesting and unique about their perspective as a German.

Just to be clear, I never said that the word should be banned.

I am not sure how important the German or general European market is so hard to say whether it even should be a consideration for Grammarly.

That said the ideas of some people being intrinsically better than other people isn't specific to Germany. Eugenics used to be popular in many countries including the US. It is very advisable for other countries to learn from German history so our mistakes are not repeated.

>I am not sure how important the German or general European market

I'm sure a large population of second language English speakers is a huge market for grammarly, no?
