[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] It's bad enough you spell Latin words the French way, but now you're defending the addition of 'f' sounds in words w/ no letters that have sounds even resembling 'f'. [/qb][/QUOTE]It's our language we can do what we bloody well like with it! :p Mind you, our pronunciation of Lieutenant never made much sense to me either (probably due to an over exposure to star trek at an early age). I even went so far as to ask a squaddie about it once, to which he replied in a rather scalding tone "Coz that's wot the Queen says!"...So there. ;) As for Picard's accent; his whole family seam to have British accents as does his friend Lewis (was he supposed to be French too? I forget) so perhaps Britain conquered parts of France during WWIII or perhaps there was a mass migration of Brits to mainland Europe during the post atomic horror because our poor little island got nuked to buggery and was rendered largely uninhabitable. (not that it's ever been particulary pleasent before hand) Then again perhaps Scotland won the World Cup and the English emigrated in disgust. ;) Another possibility is that the universal translator just makes them sound British because the Yanks think it's cute.
