For what is worth, before reading this thread I hadn't even realized that
there are two types of qaghwI'.
I doubt most people are even aware of this matter.
But again I will ask; why doesn't someone ask 'oqranD in the qepHom to come
?
Perhaps for me this whole matter is completely unimportant, but if someone
is wondering about it and wants to have it clarified, why not bring this up
in the qepHom to come ?

I agree it's a kind of strange question, but still I meant this
very seriously. Maybe Okrand did this intentionally, or the
typesetter just chose this because he liked it.
<br>
<br>
Okrand still uses =E2=80=99 in his emails, so I wondered if there is =
a
reason, and if there's a real difference.
<br>
<br>
But after all, it really does not matter.

<p>I find it extremely unlikely that Okrand chose the typeface or
was allowed to dictate the style guide of his books. At best, he
may have given directions that Klingon is to be set in bold type.
In TKD, English translations were set in italic type, while in KGT
they were put in quotation marks; he may have had a say in that.
He probably got to see proofs of the books before they were
printed, at which point he could have noticed any serious problems
with whatever typeface they used. (And yet, the list of useful
phrases in TKD appear in a sans serif typeface anyway.)<br>
</p>
<p>What email client does Okrand use (check message headers)? Does
it produce smart quotes automatically, or does he go out of his
way to insert them intentionally?<br>
