/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The joy of going to Starbucks with an Irish name like Caoimhe or Saoirse.
My name contains seven silent letters...
There’s this YouTube channel about aviation that I like. The guy’s name is Ruairidh MacVeigh. The last name is obvious, but his first name is apparently pronounced as ‘Rory’. I would not have gotten that spelling correct in a million years.
Edit: oh and another one that I do know to write and pronounce is Siobhan. That one does NOT sound like what you think it does. Definitely look it up if any readers are not familiar with Irish names.
Irish names are fun. There's also a good amount of Irish people going for deed poll changing their name from the English spelling to the Irish one and vice versa. A friend of mine went from Noel to Nollaig.
I work with a lot of Irish people and I've just got used to the fact that "Smith" is spelled "Smyth" apparently the y is silent and the i is invisible.
Re: Edit Lol, a friend of mine has that name. It's not an easy one if you're not used to Irish names. ^^
I still don't understand why Starbucks write your name on drinks. Literally everyone else in the world just calls out the order and you pick it up. It's usually the next one unless you've ordered something ultra complicated anyway.
Combine that with the fact that they can't have small medium and large and have to call everything by weird names and I refuse to go in. Same way with Subway, don't want to have to decide what kind of tomato sauce filling I want in my sandwich, I just want an effing sandwich.
