I understand your logic and ti does make sense... in English :)

I doubt 'Homme' in French makes sense. Home is a house, flat, not a
directory on a computer (which is inside of a home). 'Kuća' in Croatian
is also very... I said it already :)

There's also Spanish. Casa? And if you think for a second, it's not that
smart in English too. It's just that we got used to it calling it home.

In you example, 'Where's my stuff?', you could easily say 'Click Places,
then click My-Super-Cool-Folder' and it would still have the same effect
as calling it Home/Flat/World. That's cause you didn't answer to the
question, you explained the steps to the solution. Real world answers
would be:

'In your home folder/directory.'
'In your home.'
'In your personal folder/directory.'

Which one of those sounds most reasonable?
