Well constructed word. Hits harder than the English translation.

If anyone asks me about world politics I'm going =

world leaders in a Klingon accent. "You know, HamID qarSay." :-)

Probably an editing slip: this sentence as object =
construction lacks a sentence before the 'e'. Is =
it <toy'taH 'e' nup> or <toy'taHmeH poH nup>?

I'm curious: does your personal English =
pronunciation of Mediterranean substitute an r =
for the D sound, or is this transliteration =
modelled on the pronunciation in another language?

Had to say that one aloud a few times.
Keep it up. I really appreciate these. I think =
this one read more smoothly than its =
predecessors, or perhaps I'm just getting more =
adept with the diplomatic vocabulary. Definitely a weak spot for me.
