Which makes me wonder why did Picard always state "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot", I
mean do they not have macros or pre-programmed settings in the 24th centuary
so he could say "normal please" :) :) :) :)
Or just stand in front of the dispenser - the computer surely knows
who he is (tracking his communicator) and what time it is
(mid-morning, mid-afternoon, etc), so if he's such a creature of
habit, words are unnecessary. Of course, that doesn't make for good
television, so we get oft-repeated taglines.
