Is “logariasmó” related to the word logarithm?
The word "logarithm" comes from the Greek word "logos" and "arithmos". Λογαριασμό/logariasmo is indeed related, and refers to counting.

Inherited from Byzantine Greek λογαριασμός (logariasmós, “calculation”), from the aorist stem λογαριασ- of the verb λογαριάζω (logariázo) + -μός (-mós), the verb from Ancient Greek λογάριον (logárion) + -ᾰ́ζω (-ắzō), from the neuter diminutive of masculine λόγος (lógos, “word, reason, explanation”)
Why do I have this natural urge to gradually speak louder and with more force as I read the German side from top to bottom?
Because you have watched too many silly internet videos that butcher our beautiful language.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
