Verin did say "Where I come from." and he's right. Illiterate is the word that would be used in the State. Where we come from I believe you'd get your ass kicked if you swanned about using words like 'analphabet'.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

And here I thought analphabet was just the name of a Gallente jazz album.... Learn something new every day....

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

if you want to be completely precise...

"Are they neutral to us?"
"Da suu isoyet kinari hido?"
"그들은 중립"

I'm going to guess that you're literate in the first (seeing as it was run through the translater), illiterate in the second, and analphabetic in the third.

All of which just further illustrates that being one thing but not the other doesn't mean the rules don't apply, it means that the rules have sorted you into different categories.
