Trailing-edge compute farm seeks gainful employment

You're suffering from a misconception popular among immigrants from Germany and elsewhere, assuming that words spelled and even pronounced similarly actually mean the same. My father often fell into that trap. For years he made such mistakes, often committing gross syntax errors attributable to his belief that words that were spelled and pronouced similarly meant the same thing. The example that comes to mind regarding this word is the title, "Also Sprach Zarathustra," which translates to, "Thus Spake Zarathustra." I'm sure there are better examples, though. The common usages of this word do suggest it means "thus" or "consequently" or some such, rather than "as well" or "additionally." Now, don't ask me to explain why it's so ...
