Was it Kirk or Shatner who said the magic wordI think I heard Kirk say f*you, but that was between takes...
Was it Kirk or Shatner who said the magic word
It's Shatner but sometimes the difference is not clear. For example in an episode of Boston Legal where he plays Denny Crane, he once said: "I used to captain my own starship, you know?"
technically it was Mars Polar Lander and Deep Space 2 which were not a rovers.
but yeah.
The US is technically on the Metric system by law- See the Metric Conversion Act of 1975. But, business and individuals were allowed to continue with traditional standards of measure, as the act was voluntary not compulsory.
So, the reasons behind such conversions are likely cost.
Or someone would go to the future and kill Nero before he could start any of this and so it would be the regular timeline all over again.
Nope: it would just create another timeline where someone went to the future to kill Nero. The Kelvin universe would continue to exist.
I disagree if Nero had died, say, one day before the whole time traveling blackhole thing. Then he would never get the opportunity to do any if the things he did and old Spock would have safely come home without being sucked in the past.
The only reason why someone would want to travel to the future to kill Nero is if they knew that his actions caused a divergent timeline to be created. Killing him again would not make that divergent timeline go away, because if it did, then that person would not exist to be able to go back in time to kill Nero. It would just create a new timeline where he didn't go back in time, but instead was killed by someone from the past.
And anyway, it wouldn't matter, because the person traveling to the future to kill Nero would only kill the Nero that was native to that new universe, and by the time the late 24th century happened in that timeline, it would have been so different that Nero would probably not even exist.

But if you are coherent with yourself, you should add that Nero could not have done what he did to the timeline because it likely caused him not to exist, therefore NOTHING HAPPENED. What's good for the temporal goose is good for the temporal gander. You can't make that kind of lopsided reasoning and hope to get away with it.
So basically, what you did is take a situation that's rendered impossible by your reasoning and apply, that reasoning to prove that that impossible situation can't be changed.
In Maths, that's called asking for trouble.

The question of whether it would fix the timeline, splinter the timeline, erase some timelines, etc., all depends on the mood in the writers' room. The final outcome of time incursions is simply what the writers decide for it to be, regardless of logic or unspoken rules of time travel. It's fun to guess, of course, but it's all up to them (whether or not it makes sense).
ok
If you know QT's work you know he's not kidding, even in the trailer to his new film I saw a gratification shot for QT's foot fetish
This. For all of Kurtzman and Orci's talk of time travel branching off alternate realities in 2009, Orci's unmade ST3 was allegedly about an opportunity to "undo" the Kelvin timeline and save Vulcan, and featured a Shatner cameo as Kirk Prime. ST'09 co-writer and co-producer Alex Kurtzman was in charge of Discovery season 2, which treats time travel in the same kind of casual, rewriting-one-history manner as Trek TV series' past.
