Quick response to charghwI''s response (gee, that's wierd, mixing the
tlhIngan Hol ' with the English possessive ' {{:-):
I did mean to suggest that a beginner is sensitive (I received no indication
that this was so in this case). I'm simply concerned with a beginner
being *confused*. Certainly part of the goal of this list is to facilitate
learning and education, so I'm approaching this basically as a teacher.
I'm just saying don't give someone chapter 7 while they are still working
on mastering chapeter 2. I am *not* suggesting that one needs to be
gentle, sensitive and PC (although, as Mr. Kloko demonstrated, one does need
to at least be civil). I have no problem with using a brusque, Klingon-esque
tone of voice, particularly between established list members. I certainly
freely use brusque tone in discussions here, and I expect it of others. I
just want to make sure that, at the same time, we are supporting those who
are trying to take those difficult first steps. And, of course, *anything*
goes, tone-wise, if you are writing in Hol'e' {{;-).
And finally:
Ho'Du' 'IHqu' Daghajbej, charghwI'! {{:-) chochop not DaneH 'e' vItul!
