/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Mine was "facade".
Fuck Aid
As a Canadian ..... no doot aboot it
"Epitome"
Epy tome!
Hubris
Never thought of that one but yeah that would be tough.
Fuschia is pronounced Fuck-tosia
Not to be confused with Fuck-Tasha
Hell, it oughta be!
Archipelago
Still don’t know the correct way.
I've heard both ark uh pella go and ark i pelli go. Probably just dialect difference.
I'm a fan of Archie pella-go but I'm almost positive that nobody anywhere considers it correct 🤷
I could get behind that.
That was how I pronounced it for years after reading it.
Same here, and I still think that's how it SHOULD be 😁
In NZ we (mostly) pronounce it arc-ah-pela-go some however are weird and say arc-ee-pelE-go
We hunt those people down and sacrifice them during the yearly Ritual.
The H is silent, accent the first and third syllables.
Mine:
Awry was something I pronounced like you did forever until I heard it spoken. Sadly that was in some medieval show, so I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be an accent or if you actually pronounce it like that :D
Awry is particularly relatable.
Aw-ry, aw-ry, aw-ry.
I just really like banal. It feels right. Freeing
Just don't forget your blubricant!
The fact that banal and canal are so different is just another trap laid by the alphabet crew.
Elegant
For some reason I said “eglant”
Harsh lesson to learn in a 8th grade class speech.
Albeit was al-bite
Segue was si-gyou
That just sounds like German arbeit then
I learned epitome is not pronounced ep-e-tome but rather e-pit-toe-me
Me the first time I heard a guitarist pronounce the brand Epiphone as "Epiphany".
Why word look like ep-e-tome if word no sound like ep-e-tome?
The answer is quite simple, really, language is stupid, and writing and grammar are doubly so.
I said “Sortie” out loud for the first time the other day, and even though it was pronounced correctly I still interrupted my own story to repeat it with a look of disgust, thinking “Surely not!”
What did you think was the correct pronunciation in that moment? Soar tee ay?
