Nice photo!

Also, I do love the Delta (and the Ebre in general, travelled a lot of it's length this year up in Aragón)

I have to admit, that is easily the cutest tank I've ever seen!

(I've seen Girls Und Panzer, and read everything Tank Girl, so I'm an expert!)

Picard was written by different people who needed different things from the characters, however there were occasional moments where her previous manerisms showed through.

A feral child who was not ASD could have been portrayed like Mowgli (or, for a more Star Trek reference point, Tuvok when he had brain damage). Seven gradually learns how to navigate human interaction (and how to smile, for instance) through studying and is surprised when it's occasionally useful, a non-ASD character could have learned through interpretation of people's reactions and would have sought socialisation rather than peace and quiet in a neatly ordered cargo bay (I'm led to believe that's how it works anyway).

You're completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.

It is a lisp, albeit on purpose ... to further confuse things in parts of Spain with different languages the shared words don't necessarily have that lisp!

Best thing would be to go to a Spanish speaking country for a holiday, once you've been forced to use it on strangers you'll loose your language anxiety and it gets much easier (I live in Spain and work in Spanish, I'm not very good, but also no longer worried about muddling through).

When was that? Last time I tried it was a couple of years ago.

As for the difference, outside of Spain the conjugation of Vosotros (you, plural) isn't used, but speaking to strangers is much more formal. Also, there's a lot of vocabulary differences which can be confusing for non-native speakers.

Good luck with your learning, it's a great language :-)

As with so much in life, it's best to read the manual first. It can get a little dry in places though, like any instruction manual, but I enjoyed all of it because I'm the sort of person who likes normal manuals, lol

Last time I looked it still did a weird mix of American and European Spanish, too

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

I dunno, I think maybe some things should just be left alone
