[stuff about revising Klingon orthography deleted]

"> I've been studying Hebrew since nursery school. Despite what typewriters

Maybe I'm *really* dumb/out of it [and writing this post on no sleep!], but I
can't figure out what this stuff about Hebrew has to do with Klingon
orthography, and I've never heard anybody claim that Hebrew has an upper case.
Could my brain have hopped on the transporter and left my body behind?
