Hey, we use the foreign equivalents of words every single day. Ciao, hola, hombre, dinero, yada yada. If a word like "grumtie" means "human" in Ancient, we can say that they're Grumties. It's that simple.
Uh, whoever said that we're advanced? As a whole, I mean. There are some ubersmart and uberinnovative people out there, granted, but the average joes and other induhviduals among us outnumber the geniuses.
Oh, and choosing ships, I think, violates the spirit of the question. It actually borders on greedy, if you ask me.
