all of the vegapunks speak quite distinctly, and from what i’ve seen, they all use different personal pronouns with different levels of formality! going in order from what we’ve seen so far:
1: shaka speaks quite formally (for a man, which i’m loosely assuming he is)- he uses watashi as his personal pronoun, which places him in a neutral/formal spot, and uses kimi to address the strawhats (which is somewhat diminuitive/maybe a little condescending) but omae to address dragon (conclusion: ???).
2: lilith speaks like a stereotypical old man- she uses washi as her personal pronoun and the masculine omae as her ‘you’ pronoun, and tends to use ja as her sentence-ending copula instead of da.
3: edison speaks kansai-ben (though i don’t know enough to say if it’s a specific subdialect)- he self-references with wai, which is a dialectal variant of the washi pronoun that lilith uses, and ends his sentences with ya in place of the regular da.
4: pythagoras is, from what we’ve seen so far, the most polite of the satellites- he’s the only one to consistently use polite verb forms.
5: atlas speaks probably the most aggressively, which suits her general demeanor but is very incongruous with her actual appearance- she uses the masculine ore for her first-person pronoun and omae for ‘you.’
6: haven’t really seen york speak yet besides, like, noises.

Greek Mathematics
Greek mathematics, the study of numbers and their properties, patterns, structure, space, apparent change, and measurement, is said to have originated with Thales of Miletus (l. c. 585 BCE) but was clearly understood during the periods of the Minoan civilization (2000-1450 BCE) and the Mycenaean Civilization (c. 1700-1100 BCE) and was derived from older Mesopotamian and Egyptian mathematical systems.

Exciting research from the University of Cambridge, Princeton, and the Max Planck Institute challenges long-held beliefs about music and harmony!
A new study suggests that the perfect mathematical ratios advocated by Pythagoras may not dictate our perception of musical beauty after all. Participants from diverse cultural backgrounds showed a preference for slight imperfections in musical chords, indicating a universal appreciation for a bit of 'inharmonicity'.

me fighting the urge to tell every alt person wearing a pentagram that it originated from an Ancient Greek math cult led by the guy who’s credited with “discovering” a^2 + b^2 = c^2, and proceed to give a short lecture on the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence
