Our new guMas 1-2-3

What name should we call our Apps?

We will concentrate on language-related apps, and some math too.

The name Lingu is quite overloaded in App names.

So we thought on taking the middle letters of LinguMaster, and use them!

LinguMaster

What is the meaning of this word? A complete nothing! Will try it as a brand, and hoping to get positive impressions...
