Yes. No Terran language apart from English, for example, contains the concept of 'slood', and the concepts of 'akh', 'ka', 'ib', 'sheut' etc are almost equally rare.

Ah but that's a completely different notion, though.

Yes. I think.
Is that the right kind of question?

Same topic, different series.
I've been watching a lot of Stargate lately. If the Ancients were so smart, why don't the Stargates have Call Display? Or an option to send an incoming wormhole straight to voicemail? Are even supergenius ascended beings plagued by stifling, choiceless phone plans? Also, what are the odds of me getting a Science Consultant gig on Stargate: Atlantis?

I'd say go ahead. It certainly can't hurt to have your name in front of them, and it wouldn't be the first time an insightful critique, volunteered, led eventually to something a bit more... profitable.

I'm not sure I know them any better than Sa'ar. The chances of me convincing them is, I fear, fairly slim.
(Sorry, but you did walk into that one. An indefinite article would have saved you.  )Interesting tidbit on the Quark front - according to a Shimmerman interview on the s6 DVDs, Quark is only running side activities into season 2. After that he plays it straight, apparently. For the most part, anyhow. On Atlantis:...Because all advanced races have monumentally stupid lacks of imagination? Why do the Time Lords send their least reliable member to erase their mortal enemies from history? As for getting the science consultant job - get two more degrees, and be well-known in TV circles?
