Happy International Women's
Day 2021! At first I thought this was to celebrate international women like
Gal Gadot and Sofia Vergara. It turns out to be an international celebration of
all women with a focus on fighting gender bias. With all due respect to Gal and
Sofia, that's probably for the best. They get enough attention every day as it
is.

Go all the way back to Undiscovered Country, when Uhura has more or less Klingon Dictionaries. Or further back with Hoshi on Enterprise figuring out languages for the UT. Take Cuban Spanish verses Mexico Spanish, or even some words from English to those in Spanish or Italian. It's like the saying to the effect of "Eskimo's have 50 words for snow", when most languages have multiple words that mean the same thing relatively speaking.
