"I'm fine..." says Data... right after a physical fight with Lore who was beamed to the Crystaline Entity.... (I believe the episode was Datalore)

The big thing was, Data wasn't supposed to be able to say contractions, and SHOULD have said "I am fine"... So technically, only Lore would have said "I'm fine". How did the director, the edittiing director, and anyone in staff reviewing it before it was broadcasted miss it? Ironically, Lore in that episode talked about how Data couldn't use contractions....

Data was designed to be able to learn, so maybe he learned how to use contractions.

Kirk: That helmet covers a multitude of sins.

For Data to have that particular quirk in a show that lasted seven years, plus four subsequent movies, it was remarkable that he was able to sustain it for so long. I would therefore forgive him the occasional slip-up. And if you say "I am" fast enough, it can sound remarkably like "I'm".

Another fav: "Kill Worf"

reminds me of the case with Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country where Kirk is making a recording in his quarters saying he has never trusted Klingon's and he never will. but when that log entry was replayed at his and McCoy's trial at Qo'noS where he used contractions in the recording but never used them in the original entry.

Picard: SHUT UP, WESLEY!

I did a little fist-pump there when I heard that. It was a pretty major victory for me.

KIRK: What's the mission of this vessel, Doctor? To seek out and contact alien life, and an opportunity to demonstrate what our high-sounding words mean. Any questions?

in star trek tos season 1 Ep.16

Kirk: Uh, Mr. Spock, there's really something I don't understand about all of this. And maybe you can explain it to me. Logically, of course. When you jettisoned the fuel and ignited it, you knew there was virtually no chance of it being seen, yet you did it anyhow. That would seem to be an act of desperation.
Spock: Quite correct.
Kirk: We all know, and I'm sure the doctor agrees, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. How does your well-known logic explain that?
Spock: Quite simply, Captain. I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that, under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at.
Kirk: Aha, ha ha. I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst.
Spock: Well, I... wouldn't put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but...
those are essentially the facts.
Kirk: You're not going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human, emotional act?
Spock: No, sir.
Kirk: Mr. Spock, you're a stubborn man.
Spock: Yes, sir.
