It's not clear that it was Okrand who *chose* that phrasing. As I
understand it, he became involved in the TalkNow! project rather late,
after many of the phrases had been translated. He made some changes,
corrections, and additions, and he might have been exclusively
responsible for this one, but I have decided not to treat this
particular source with as much "reverence" as I give to a work such as
Klingon for the Galactic Traveler.
