Love the video and radio ads! majQa'!
They've now updated their Klingon text; the new one is an honest effort, bu=
t still wrong:
ylqoj ylbanghqo'
Same thing with the error text:
nuq jIyajbe
So, they're clearly interested in getting it right, and putting some effort=
into it; they're just not all the way there.
Perhaps one should send them an e-mail?

cters to Okrand's romanization. It's response was:
{in pIqaD} wHat I Don't unDerStanD
{in Roman letters} That=92s Klingon for "What? I don't understand!" You're =
speaking gibberish.
Pot, Kettle. "Black!"
