Hmmm... I don't. Or better: I agree that the menu is poorly thought, I agree that the word "reset" on the paperclip port
is wrong.
But I don't think it makes a point the fact that restart/reset have interchangeable meaning depending on the context. It doesn't matter that restarting a project in sw development means resetting everything that had been done so far: what only means is the context you are using it at that time, and the kindle menu is NOT a development project.
So they are fully entitled to use the term "reset" on that menu item, expecially because the "restart" item nearby should make you aware what meaning the term "reset" has there. We cannot blame amazon or lab121 for that term.
But yes, of course, as I already said in the first time, I cannot believe there isn't a confirmation popup, something like "Are you sure you want to restore the factory settings of your kindle", and it starts right away. And of course it should be far away from the restart button.
Btw, regarding english language.. it's not english.
Also latin languages have that, I think all ancient-greek and ancient-latin derivated languages have it (can't say for others).
Actually the in- prefix comes from latin, while the a- prefix from greek. So you may say that english just copied from south european languages.
