A1 is coming for our jobs. It's an evil cable of people.
TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

This joke doesn't work for a normal language like spanish that has regular orthography, only languages like english or french that have broken spelling.
Klingonese is read the way it's spoken so it also wouldn't suffer from this problem.

que necesitas para entender que esto es algo falso? Un Casco?
Spanish is one of the best languages for having the spelling match the pronunciation, but it's not perfect. First of all, you can't spell something just based on hearing it because a /k/ sound can be a 'c' or a 'k', and a /s/ can be an 's' or a 'c'. It also has silent letters like 'h'. Going the other way, seeing the spelling of Mexico, Xalapa, Oaxaca, etc. would lead someone who didn't know to try to pronounce them with a /ks/ sound, but they're really pronounced as if they were spelled Mejico, Jalapa and Oajaca. Then, there are loan words like "psicologia" where the "p" is retained from the original language, but not pronounced in Spanish.
I still don't know the actual pronunciation of macabre.
There are three accepted ways of saying it:
Ma-cah-bruh
Ma-cahb
Ma-cahb-err
Well if you can read IPA, it's something like /məˈkɑːbrə/
Although I'd argue the ə can be silent.
Audiobooks do the reverse.
"Wait, that's how you spell that??"
I guess it's usually with names, though.
Homage took me a while
