[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tech Sergeant Chen: [QB] Just because they sound like Americans doesn't mean they are. IMHO, it's more insulting to have characters like Chekov, whose command of English is imperfect, to say the least. If one were to assume that English will become the global language, as it seems on its way to becoming, then why shouldn't everyone on 22nd to 24th century Earth speak perfect English in addition to their native language? Moreover, why would somebody with the incredible mental capacity of a Vulcan still speak with a foreign accent like T'Pau? Or as the story in the New York Times went, a young girl was complimented on being bilingual. She corrected that she was trilingual. The elder asked if she knew what somebody who spoke only one language was called. The response: an American. [/QB][/QUOTE]
