Goddamnit, I did make the mistake in my draft but after double checking I thought I removed it from my notes. Thanks.

Thanks!

Tamza. Supposed to be a dead language by the 32nd century.

Sam was using it to say hi to people on her first day (SFA: "Kids These Days") and Genesis was the only one who knew the language, so that's how they became friends.

Annotations for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x09: “300th Night”

Correct, but the messages go back 2 years as also stated, so he may be 21 at the outside (nearly 22).

You may be right! Thanks!

Not at all. It also struck me that they simply imported the line from TNG: "The Bonding" without understanding the cultural context behind it or running it by actual Klingon speakers.

I'm not fluent by any means, but I know enough to know that using SoS in that context was off.

A lot of TNG used actual Hol - it's just that it sounded like gibberish because nobody taught the actors how to pronounce it properly. It was only until DIS that they took pains to do it, but with the mouth prosthetics it just came out mumbly. They've gotten better in SFA.
