Unless you're Germany and I'm playing Russia, then your corps are all corpse(s)...

The whole thing was Napoleon's idea that units should move around in groups with everything they need infantry cav artillery supports units and Guderian used the same train of thought when forming the Panzer Divisions everything they need to fight and move in one unit
Dutch and German = KORPS, spell every character litterly. (hard K and a rolling R)
In French, its writte CORPSE, but you say COR', La Cor'(pse) or something like that. (not COR, but COOOOOOOR)
The US tend to pronounce everything their own way and say CORE, but thats imho somehing different.

no, it's a french word and we pronounce it core (it is, in fact, pronounced like the german word for choir). Very seldom I hear it as korps.
Not really his idea. Until his time, total size of armed forces in the field was too small - you had 3-4 armies total per country. During French Revolution/Napoleonic wars, France was fielding up to 1 million men simultaneously, and there appeared a need to standardize large formation size. Before, largest continuous formations were regiments, afterwards - divisions, with corps being semi-standard.
In addition to what's been said, I seem to recall that some specific units historically were referred to in an unusual manner.
For example, the British XXX Corps was referred to as "thirty corps", rather than "thirtieth corps", as you might expect.
Many of you know more about this era than I, however, If I'm completely wrong, just say so.
