Talk:Sam Lavelle

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I've long been amused by the fact that, although he claims Canadian descent, he pronounces the rank "lootenant" according to the American fashion, and not "leftenant" as we Canadians do.

Lavelle claimed his grandfather was from Canada, not that he himself was from Canada. -- SmokeDetector47^{| TALK} 02:20, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Even if he was Canadian, I am British and I say 'lootenant' as opposed to the commonly used 'leftenant', simply because it is spelled 'lieu' and therefore, I think, should be pronounced 'loo'. -- TrekFan ^Talk 14:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Order of Things

Canadians and the British have always used American, or French Titles when enlisted under their command, and as this fleet has a specific order to thing, we hope earths history wouldnt mess it up. -<unsigned>
