/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 🤷
That was how I pronounced it for years after reading it.
Same here, and I still think that's how it SHOULD be 😁
I could get behind that.
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.
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
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!
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?
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.
