[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [QB] I was wondering, perhaps you could clear my confusion regarding fine niuances of English... ;) You see, in [b]The Expanse[/b], when Trip learns that Florida was hit, he goes to the captain and they say this: [b]Trip: Ah, she may have been away. Architects take a lot of trips. Archer: Older or younger? Trip: My baby sister. When we were in school...[/b] Now, I freely admit that english is not my first language but I pride myself with being able to understand it quite well, even if sometimes I get times mixed up when writing messages in this language :p So, I uderstand that above quote says that Tucker has two sisters, one older and one younger. Archer, being his friend and CO is aware of that, but he doesn't know exactly where they live. So, when Trip mentions that one of his sisters lives in Florida, the asked "Older or younger", trying to find out [b]which[/b] sister lives in Florida. But right away in next episode Phlox contradics that reasoning by stating [i]"Commander Tucker had one sister".[/i] So, I wanted to ask you: is this their mistake, or my mistake? :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
