I'd argue that pronto is best translated as quick because we're evaluating all these names from an English-speaker's perspective. In spoken English, the word pronto means "quick." In fact, I'd say its usage in English is universal enough that it doesn't belong in the "foreign words" subcategory at all. Great post.

You should post daily. -- Just a quick note: "pronto" (at least if taken alone as in pronto.com) is probably better translated as "ready" from italian (it also is "soon" in spanish). It is also the standard way to answer the phone (in italian): "pronto?" There actually are uses for "pronto" as "quick" but seem largely secondary ('pronta consegna' = 'quick/immediate delivery', typically referred to a car). I really like these topics.
