Inspired, yes. But uber is still not a German word.

Imagine if I founded a company called “Tougt” and claimed this is an English word. Not inspired by, is. Who needs the letter ‘h’ anyways?

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.

Right, über is a word. “uber” is very much not. The points aren’t decoration or a pronunciation guide, they signify a different letter.

It’s like saying that Spanish people call their country Espana.
