Just out of interest: I know this usage of 'uber' has 70 year old
German roots as in 'Übermensch'. 'We' don't use it anymore so it seems
to be a typical English thing nowadays. I just wonder whether dropping
the umlaut is now part of this migration or whether 'übercool' would be
acceptable English as well.
