"From" used to be "born in". [/qb][/QUOTE]Who's making big deal out of it? I was just clarifying so that it doesn't catch on as one of those so-called continuity errors that isn't really one at all and doesn't really require any rationalization. That's the kind of thing that had (and still has some) people claiming the Starfleet of ENT is a separate entity from the familiar Starfleet of the rest of Trek that just happens to have the same name, when nothing of the sort was ever intended. In the case of the new film, they originally were going to call the [i]Kelvin[/i] the [i]Iowa[/i], presumably because they thought they'd need to get around him being "born in Iowa." Then somebody probably pointed out that this would be an unnecessary gimmick, because nothing canon ever said he was born in Iowa. And no, "being from" somewhere doesn't have to mean you were physically born there. I'm sure if someone was born on a plane flying over Wyoming, but was raised from infancy in California, they'd probably still describe themselves as being "from California." Not trying to escalate an argument, here. I'm just saying. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
