Okrand spoke at George Mason University last Friday:

Money quote:
If those rules don't confuse novice Klingon speakers then Okrand's
decision to eliminate all K's in the language will. Good luck spelling Klingon.
Okrand defended this decision with the excuse that "K's are always at the
beginning of words that are used to describe bad things in movies."
