Maybe also a translation thing, in German "grounding" is translated to "erden" which means "putting into or connecting to the ground", but "Erde" is also the substantive meaning "earth".
- gowld 7y agoWords take on a range of meaning. "ground" and "earth" have overlapping meanings.
- iforgotpassword 7y agoSure. In English though it's fine to refer to e.g. the street as "ground", like when you drop your ice cream outside. In German, "Grund" would be something like the ground of a lake, your ice cream would drop on the "Erde". So they have the same meaning but in the overlapping area English is biased towards ground and German towards earth. Or something like that.
