   I wasn't aware of that! Thank you for the information :)

   Very interesting indeed! Thinking of it, I'm almost sure that in TOS,   
   they use the tow forms (on aye, and two) depending of the situation,   
   and it now makes a lot of sense to me, thanks to you.

   Well then maybe what explained Your Name was still used in military at   
   the time of TOS. But that wasn't the case anymore in the 80's/90's ?   
   So, obviously, they wrote their scripts accordingly for TNG?   
      
   And about the yeoman: yes! And that is a great detail to notice. I   
   haven't seen yet the late TOS movies, I'm wondering if there's still a   
   yeoman on bord the Enterprise...   
      
   Thank you very much all for your comments and replies; it's very   
   appreciated.
