| <Esa_> | y'know I did wonder too... why is the federation only using english? |
| <Esa_> | they need a babblefish :) |
| <Aair> | Universal translators |
| <Aair> | the dialog has been translated into English for you |
| <Esa_> | if it's universal translators, then why does chekov have an accent? |
| <nicole> | accents are kept.. for some.. reason.. |
| <Aair> | Maybe he's trying to speak english? |
| <Aair> | And the UT is like, "WTF are you saying?" |
| <Aair> | It might have an easier time if he stuck to Russian |
| <nicole> | so... if he just spoke russian.. |
| <nicole> | lol |
| <Esa_> | dood jus talk russian |
| <jaschu> | There's a bug in the translator. |
| <jaschu> | It switches the Vs and Ws. |
| <jaschu> | But WAIT |
| <jaschu> | if he WAS speaking Russian, |
| <jaschu> | wouldn't he look like he was in a dubbed-over kung fu movie? |
| <Aair> | If he was speaking Russian, yes, I think it would |
| <Aair> | Probably be some delay, as the UT tries to process the context of what was said, too |
| <Esa_> | maybe he just pissed off the UT one day, so it stopped translating for him :) |
| <jaschu> | "FUCK YOU CHEKOV I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A POLYGLOT DEFECT FROM LAST CENTURY!" |
| <jaschu> | Yeah, I can see it. |
| <Esa_> | the UT has a sense of humor too, you see |
| <nicole> | I'm sorry Chekov, I'm afraid I can't let you have proper diction |

Recurring themes: LGBT issues, San Francisco tidbits, ukuleles, pirates, games, absurdism. I won't really talk about myself here, but you'll get a sense of me, anyway.
