What does this have to do with logic?

My English students in Germany go nuts over the way that English has several words for the same thing: a Punkt in German can be a period, dot or point depending on how it is used, while we have other words that have several unrelated meanings, like “fine”.

German, for all its clunkiness and grammar rules and endings, is a highly logical language without a lot of overlapping or multiple meanings compared to English.
