[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] Yes, they are mostly American, but not all are. Notably, Picard says "loo-tenant" in an English accent (although he is supposedly French (perhaps he went to a boarding school in England)), which suggests that American pronunciation is universal. [/qb][/QUOTE]He does say "leff-tenant" in one episode, although it escapes me at the moment. I presume he pronounces it American-style because he knows that real-speak will confuse all those Yanks he works with. It was bad enough when he lent Riker his copy of Philospher's Stone. Poor old Will walked around for a week confused as to how something could be described as "rubbish". As a counter, in Generations Kirk pronounces Tuesday in a Canadian/British/Real-speak way ("Tews-day"), whereas Harriman says it in silly American speak ("Toos-day"). So some dialects have stuck. And, personally speaking, when I talk about Trek with my Really Cool Friends Who Have Sex, we tend to say "loo-tenant so and so", simply because that's what they say on the show. [/QB][/QUOTE]
