Personally, the KLBC, KBTP, and I have missed a few, are great
ideas for learning or improving ones usaged of the tlhIngan, but there are a
few minor problems.
Lately there have been DEBATES on usage with the subject line having
a "KLBC" in it. Thanks folks, but I really don't think its going to help thos
e
of us learning the language to read these debates. I really agree with DrujIv,
this is BEGINNERS conversations, not debates.
To help us all slog through the deluge of mail that the list receives,
I suggest EVERYONE adopt a similar style for the Subject line of the messages.
Why not use the first four characters as a STANDARD for the list, so that thos
e
who want to read specific instances, or work on their learning, can easily. A
s
it is now you have to slog through many messages to find what you were reading.
The subjects spin off without much change. Look at the KLBC right now, there i
s
a DEBATE going on over usage that is well above most beginners heads!
I definately propose the following subject line markers and guidelines;
(Plese excuse me if I missed a few abbreviations...)
KLBC: Those chats for beginners, Directed/corrected by ONE or TWO teachers
This would only include discussions BY beginners, no debates
unless it relates specifically to something a Beginner wrote, and even
then should be kept SIMPLE enough for ALL beginners to understand. If
the debate gets too complex, it should be "moved" (subject changed)
to KADV.
KBTP: Fine as is!! The only one that stays on target.
KADV: Those people who have the experience with tlhIngan Hol and are
able to debate it. All DEBATE style issues should have this
in the subject line.
MISC: Those chats that dont easily fall into the above break down.
This could be the occasional, "...in this episode Worf
mangled tlhIngan Hol in this way..."
