Star Trek: Discovery is an agonizing almost year away, but here's something to help hold us over until May 2017: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Michelle Yeoh has been cast as a Starfleet Captain, Deadline reports.
Though Discovery's main character will have a female "Number One" serving as lieutenant commander on the Federation starship Discovery -- don't look for Yeoh on that vessel. She'll reportedly play Han Bo, leader of the ship Shenzhou. That means the lead character, rumored to be another non-white female, may be second in command.
That wouldn't be the first time the main character isn't a commanding officer on Star Trek -- Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, rose through the ranks after starting as commander -- but then, this iteration of the franchise is expected to explore all kinds of new dimensions, including having at least one gay character.
Do Trekkies approve?

Your meaningless grammar nitpicks are so fucking tiresome.
Find some other way to calm your OCD. Write a letter to the sight's editor. Nobody hear does or can give a shit.

I'd rather not see poorly-written articles repeated here. Pardon for me wanting to read summaries that make sense. It makes Soylent News look worse than it should.

And your meaningless grammar flames do exactly nothing in furtherance of that goal.
If it is so important to you, become an editor. What? You can't be arsed? Yeah, that's what I thought.
You don't actually give a damn, you just want to shitpost to make yourself feel good.

Your shitposts make soylent news look worse than it should. And that is something you can actually fix with zero effort.

Jesus Fucking AC!

How could you know? If the grammar is errant, the meaning is lost, so nitpicking about the absence of meaning is actually meaningful. Right?

Or better, right a litter to the cites educator? Can't you spell, Jesus Fucking AC? No? I guess you are neither OCD nor literate! Good for you!
Nobody hear does or can give a shit./quote? Nobody who can hear gives a what? Why are you dumping on deaf people? Man, first you are all "OCD, dude" and then you are "Deaf people, dude", so now I think you are 14 years old, am I right? Here, say "retard" for us! Or tell us that grammar nazis are gay! Yeah, that will show them! But seriously, AC, I feel sorry for you. You were really trying to make a good point, but your lack of education, literacy, and common sense and liberal values caused you to just be an ass. Better luck in the future. Honestly. You prick.

No. Human language is highly redundant. Meaning is not automatically lost just because wording is awkward or homonyms are used.
Which was the point of my deliberate use of homonyms - you clearly understood the meaning despite the intentional 'errors.' Well you understood the surface meaning, but were suckered in by the deliberate 'errors' and decided to grammar flame a message that said minor grammar errors are unimportant.
And to top it all off you went and pulled a Muphry's Law at the end. Classic grammar nazi fail!

Except, you appear to know grammar, so obviously you cannot be the original AC, you are some other AC coattailing on the post of a much stupider AC. And you expect us to respect you? What the frack are you, a Republican Congressman/woman? Meaning is lost. As the guy says in "Cool Hand Luke", "What we have here, is a failure to communicate." "Cuck, you sucker!" Oh, my bad, different movies.
