In one of the threads about basketball and the NCAA tournament there was the rare, for YC, side-tracked discussion about things not related to the thread title. Star Trek came up.

This was mentioned in Star Trek: First Contact (ST VIII).

Thanks for this interesting post. It caused me to wonder if the US Navy and Starfleet pronounced the name correctly.

Was it staffed by a bunch of hillbillies?

I’ll go back and watch the scene. To b honest I only noticed it watching the momentary on blu ray. Thayer have one commentary track that is similar to pop up videos on VH1 and I saw the note their. I’ll do a screen cap this weekend and ee if I can hear the pronunciation better.
