How to Speak Like Captain Picard

I am sure many of you like me have always dreamed about talking AND being like Captain Picard so here's some general guidelines I've created to help you (and me).

1. Accustom yourself to say "Engage!" and "Make it so!" when you want someone to do something.
• Example: Friend: "Hey let's go get some In & Out! I'll drive!" You: "Make it so!"
2. Whenever you order a drink, always append the preferred temperature.
• Example: "Coke, cold." "Coffee, hot."
3. Refer to your secretary/assistant/caddy as "Number One".
   
4. Whenever you stand up, tug on your shirt and pull out any ruffles in it.
5. Pronounce ER sounds as Ah.
• Example: "The line must be drawn HEAH (here)!" [First Contact]
  
6. Roll your tongue when R is before a vowel.
• In this example we can see the use of both use of R: "What does a woman like you see in MoRRiaAHti?" [S06E12 Ship in a Bottle]
7. A should be pronounced as AU as in "awe"
• Example: CommAUnder Data
  
8. Less nasal.
