Word twitter: why are both "tornado" and "derecho" Spanish words? Also, the first guy to use "derecho" was a German American in 1888, why did it take so long to name this wind phenomenon? Bonus if you actually know this rather than Googling, a keyboard superpower I also possess.

Also, why aren't more people outraged that "derecho" can mean either "straight" or "right", it is such bullshit
