</span>What we write is not the Klingon writing system.<br>
What we write is a phonetic representation, using human characters.<br>
Likewise, the grammar we use is a part of that phonetic representation.<br>
A comma is a pause, A period is a full stop, etc.<br>
In this human writing system we use to represent the spoken Klingon sounds,=
we can use whatever we<br>
feel nessessary to accomplish that representation more accurately, just lik=
e how Okrand chose upper<br>
case / lower case, and letter groups to more accrurately represent certain =
sounds.<br>
When you write with this system that we use, by all means, use commas, etc.=
=C2=A0 When you speak, put in<br>
the appropriate pauses.<br>
