[edit] History

The term comes from the navies of the 20th century. The USN abbreviation was LT.

In the 20th century the word was pronounced 'lef-tenant' by English speakers, except in the USA, where the more regular pronunciation 'loo-tenant' took hold with the help of spelling reformers of the 19th century. Non-Earthians use the American pronunciation. Some Earth people use the traditional pronunciation. (TOSS #11: "Null" )

The Romulan Star Empire and Andorian Imperial Guard have ranks that in English are called lieutenant.
