I studied French in school in Ontario where they taught us the "right" words. My Quebec cousins used to laugh at us when we'd say things like "pomme de terre" (literally apple of the ground). They'd correct us and say it's called "patate" (Frenchification of potato) and where did we get a crazy idea about calling them earth apples?
Not about pricing. Massive fallout is coming for Intel from Spectre and Meltdown; Nvidia are positioning themselves to cover their asses when bugs are found in their hardware and software, a la "we told you not to use these in server environments."
