[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tech Sergeant Chen: [QB] A high level of proficiency in the common language of Starfleet, whatever it is, should be mandatory. Otherwise you risk an exchange like the conference in "The Right Stuff" where LBJ couldn't understand what the German lead engineer was saying. "A spaceman?" "A specimen!" "Jimp, what's a jimp?" "A chimp, an ape!" Not the kind of misunderstanding you want in combat. Just saying Chekov speaks better English than Bubba in Florida isn't good enough, unless you don't mind Bubba at Tactical. BTW, if you're referring to Great Expectations, wasn't the word actually "victuals" but pronounced "vittles"? I don't recall seeing it spelled wittles. [/QB][/QUOTE]
