I only looked at the first block of text because it was clear it wasn't
actually Klingon. Turning an 'E' on its side renders it nonsensical to
me. It's not an 'E', it's something else. And I hate it when people
'write Klingon' by swapping Klingon characters (or versions thereof) in
for English ones. If I wrote a sentence in English using Cyrillic
characters I wouldn't call it Russian.
