wjstix riogrande5761 rrinker All the Scottish dialect I know, I learned by watching Star Trek --Randy I am still surprised at how many people my wife and I run into that don't know what "daft" means. I'm pretty sure Scotty said it a time or two but for all my having watched the episodes countless times, I can't remember any specific scenes. Ya I'm pretty sure there's a scene where Spock is in command and gives an order and Scotty says something like "Wot, are you daft, man?" and then quickly adds "Sir"...but I can't think which episode right now. BTW James Doohan was Irish-Canadian, and did many voices on radio and TV over the years. Oddly, he said the only accent he had trouble doing was Irish! Most any time Star Trek needed an alien voice dub or a male voice on a computer or a radio message from someone off-screen, it's James Doohan's voice.

Doohan, or Majel Barrett (Number 1/Nurse Chapel). She was the voice of the computer in all the Star Trek series until her death. In the animated series, Doohan and Barrett did nearly all the voice outside of the core crew (Chekov was left out - so they added Arex and M'Ress, voiced by Doohan and Barrett). No Chekov, but one episode is from a script that Walter Koenig wrote. A few extra characters were voiced by the original actors from the original series (Sarek, Harry Mudd), but most extra characters were Doohan or Barrett. I loved the animated Trek - that was the first one I saw as original run, I only ever saw the original series as reruns.

Let's all go down to Orlando and hang out in the restaurants on the North side of International Drive. You will hear every accent from everywhere in the world spoken by natives of that land.

Nah, couldn't find one available in the forum platform - and too lazy to paste one in from elsewhere.
Not sure about on the original Star Trek, but on the episode of Next Generation when they find Scotty there's a scene where he says to Geordi "Are ye daft?". I can't dig up anything from the original series, but it's also a line in some of the Str Trek novels.
wjstix He said he had a terrible time there because the Bavarian accent was so different from his that most of the time he couldn't tell what people were saying. It was basically like a foreign language to him.
I was not aware that Bavaria is a part of Germany IU always thought Bavaria to be a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

Maybe you're confusing Bavaria and Bohemia?
wjstixMaybe you're confusing Bavaria and Bohemia?
When Napoleon conquered Prussia, Bavarian soldiers marched with him against their own brethren. When Bismarck started to unite Germany, the Bavarian king decided to team up with Austria and fight against the Prussians. When they got terrible beaten up by the Prussians after a few daysn only, they changed sides and now fought against the Austrians.
Believe me, as a true-blooded Prussian with a family history going back into the 12th century I know perfectly well, what the Bavarians are - traitors, certainly not Germans!
Happy times!

Perhaps the definitive commentary on German pronouns (in English) comes from Mark Twain. Still funny, and often uncannily accurate, nearly a century and a half later...
