I think you could be (just *could* be, mind) wrong on Namor and Cable. Namor has been in development at various points in recent years - and the "easter egg" map in Iron man 2 did mark Atlantis.

All decent points and I certainly agree with the bilingual thing. I'll note an example that I found quite interesting from a trip to Germany when 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' came out. In German the title used, I think, kupboard in place of imaginarium. I figured it would mean cupboard but a German friend…

I'll defer to people far more well-versed in these matters than myself to determine what the original meaning would be, but I don't think it really matters too much in regards to how we use them now. As far as I can tell, both from the article and from prior understanding, as long as the word mankind has existed it…
