ARGGGGGHHHH

OH FOR THE LOVE OF....

APPOSITE thinking. APPOSITE, as in APT, as in "appropriate or suitable in the circumstances."

If you speak the English langauge, it's really not that difficult. Star Trek has often been written by very literate people with good, adult vocabularies. And so this.

I'm not convinced, it *really* sounds like "officer thinking" to me.

I found the clip:

Very hard to believe he is saying "apposite" there! Maybe it would
have been a better word choice, but I don't think it's what they went with :)

Page 22:

Case closed, I think :)
