The category of "punctuation" includes white space and line breaks. It
isn't just visible marks like periods and semicolons. Reading your refusal
to punctuate is like listening to someone who speaks an entire paragraph in
a robotic monotone without taking a breath. It's hard work, imposed on
everyone, just so a single person can avoid a few keystrokes.

TKD actually does have an example of using punctuation marks for a Klingon
sentence. See the end of the introduction to the Addendum.
