Oh really? You want to delete details about a character that don't really matter and never comes up again? Hmm.....

Details about Uhura in the new Star Trek movie:
She's a Xenolinguistics major that involves the study of alien languages, phonology, morphology and syntax. She has incredible hearing. She was the top student of her class, has on multiple occasions demonstrated exceptional aural sensitivity and unparalleled abilities to identify sonic anomalies. She can also speak Romulan in three different dialects.

For the grand prize doubleofive, how many of these said skills are actually put to good use?
