    You can take my Q-tips from deep within my cold, dead ear canals.

      “Was”

      Like some far-er distant future where we have cotton swaps the size of our elbows? Be real this is sci fi not fantasy.

        It’s just a convention look the proper tense is willen haven beenen III esq. but when you got as deep into time travel as star trek did it was easier just to use past tense all the time

            "Colonal Worf, reporting for duty.

            I’m just going to say it right now, you should plead guilty and seek a settlement because I don’t think you’re going to win this."

              This is insane one minute we’re talking about typos then some time traveling dingus pops in says he’s the personification of “to be” doesn’t have any future Q-tips to prove their timeline and suddenly I’m on trail for what? It’s a kangaroo court.
