I wondered my whole life why German naming of scales was so different and what reason it had. Now I know. I hated it as a kid, due to the incongruence with the English names, but now I like it a bit better. :)

Great that there is now a name to talk about this phenomenon. It plagues me to see that the school system seem to deteriorate from the ideals of the enlightenment to a mere cog-factory measured by expected economic value. Individual teachers can fight against it, but can't have much power when the cause is systemic.
