Okay, but does the existence of a House of Plantagenet imply the existence of a House of Animalagenet?
Obviously. Fungigenet as well.
They'd be fun guys at any party!
No, not really.
I started drinking black tea after moving countries as part of an effort to assimilate culturally (I started feeling bad about declining it all the time) And Earl Grey is just one of the black teas you get offered. It's not my favourite kind, but I don't mind it.

I take my tea with milk and honey to neutralize the bitterness. Funny, I think I found Earl Grey less bitter than the usual black.
I haven't had green tea since, I think, the Japanese course I took in college in the late '80s, and I recall not being fond of it, but I wasn't a tea drinker in general back then, so I might think differently now. I've never really tried herbal "teas" (technically tisanes, as they aren't made from the tea plant).

For the past 30 years or so, I drink a can of strong black tea in the morning. Very strong, maybe you can say "Hong Kong style", so strong that it's impossible to drink without milk, and it contains enough caffeine to be a real substitute for coffee. And not from tea bags -- I need a drink, not homeopathic preparations.
I buy different kinds of black tea, sometimes Earl Grey, among other flavors.

I became an iced tea drinker by accident, kind of. I usually order grocery pickup online, and once when the store was out of my usual tea bags, they offered iced tea bags as a substitute, and I thought, okay, I'm sure iced tea will work hot -- only to be surprised when I discovered that the bags are three times the size of regular tea bags and are meant for making a whole pitcher at a time. But I adapted and figured out how to use the bags to make iced tea (though I had to buy a second pitcher for it), and now it's a staple.
No wonder he surrendered so quickly. He lacked the enthusiasm. What a loser.

And given Data's comment that French is an "obscure language" and the fact that Picard speaks English with a British accent, it seems likely -- if not controversial -- that France has switched to British English as its dominant language by the 24th century.
Not really. Anyone raised bilingual from birth would be expected to speak both languages without an accent. People who speak English with a foreign accent have usually learned it later in life. I've seen plenty of Hispanic American actors who speak fluent American-accented English but switch on a dime to Spanish pronunciation within the same sentence when using a Spanish word or given name. It makes perfect sense that someone raised from childhood in a bilingual Europe would speak English with a British accent and French with a French accent. (Although I suspect that Patrick Stewart speaks French with an English accent. I've always found it ironic that Riker pronounces "Jean-Luc Picard" with more of a French accent than Picard does.)
The majority of humans on the planet speak two or more languages. It's the norm, not the exception. Plenty of people speak their own community's language at home or in their local neighborhood, but switch to the dominant language at work or in more public interactions. Even if English is the lingua franca of 24th-century Earth, French people probably still speak French to their families and local friends, and German people speak German at home, and so on.
Or it might be something like the Chinese-American family in Everything Everywhere All at Once, where their dialogue at home is a liberal blend of Chinese and English, often within the same sentence, and where Michelle Yeoh's character addresses her husband in Mandarin and her grandfather in Cantonese. Bi- or multilingualism happens in a lot of ways.
It's okay, i'll just add a little more sugar and lemon juice
If I have hot tea, it’s usually Japanese or Chinese. I will drink the occasional Irish….but as Iive in SoCal it’s unsweetened ice tea or iced Japanese barley tea. My morning is black coffee…why but expensive coffee if you’re just loading it with creamer and sugar to hide the taste.
If all of that is true, then how do you explain Data saying that French is an obscure language and expecting that no one would be familiar with it?
Early installment weirdness. Come on, it was from "Code of Honor." There's a lot in that episode that's better forgotten.
