      XPost: alt.startrek, rec.arts.startrek.current       From: invasions_r_us@thepentagon.removethis.com              I really hated the way Voyager writers kept using the prefix "iso" on       things, to make them sound more techie. "Iso" means "equal" (isometric, for       example, meaning has sides of equal length). So in the otherwise excellent       "Equinox" when they start talking about "iso-grams of dilithium crystals" I       suddenly lose my suspension of disbelief and start muttering that nobody       asked Andre Bormanis about the script.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
