My firefox dictionary doesn't recognise "where've"

Bezerk button: He’s not an it!

-ahem-

While the other comments on my correction have been accurate, this one is not. Data has been declared as essentially sentient (cf “The Measure of a Man”,“The Offspring”), and has all the rights and privileges of such a being. He should thus be referred to by his preferred gender, which happens to be male. Even the sole dissenter in the original proclamation refers to him as such.

While Mr. kaylasdad99 is free to disregard the Federation proclamation, insisting that others are wrong for upholding it is incorrect at best.

Or maybe he’s British (where “Mr” is correct).

I bet if you’d typed “where of” it wouldn’t have complained.

Grrr. If there’s one thing I hate more than apostrophes in plurals, it’s of instead of 've.

No, that was my point. It’s an American show.

I’m also free to not recognize TNG as anything other than a placeholder for the eventual return of REAL Star Trek to prime-time television. :stuck_out_tongue: Since I always intended to be there in front of the TeeVee when REAL Star Trek came back, the presence of a placeholder was completely unnecessary as far as I was concerned.*

I disrespectfully disagree with the mythical TNG-era Federation. Gender is a characteristic of biology, not of consciousness. Manufactured items can’t have it.

*Yes, it did break my heart when DeForest Kelly went and spoiled that possibility by dying, but it didn’t have any effect on my non-recognition of any validity to other shows in the Roddenberry-verse.

My Firefox wants to change “Quarter Pounder with Cheese” to “Royal with Cheese”.
