And now this makes me wonder about T-V distinction in Starfleet. I'm sure there are regulations for that and Picard being the captain, kind of gives him the "right" to tutoyer everyone on the ship while still needing to vouvoyer admirals.

Weirdly my native language is French but I have always only seen Star Trek in English so I don't know how they dub it. Somehow I would have thought that everyone would be formal, polite and use vous, but maybe the captain can say tu to other people. Or he's very friendly with Riker.

My theory is that France got it bad during WW3, and many of the survivors relocated to the UK until the fallout could be cleaned up, which is why Jean-Luc Picard sounds like that.

The real reason is much funnier.

It's england's revenge for the norman conquest. The normans gave the english a whole bunch of new words and weird pronunciations. The brits just figured turnabout is fair play.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
