Same for me. I very often want to stick suffixes where they don't belong.
Examples of bad grammar I might want to use:
chaH *DaSuvchuqmoHnIS = You need to make them fight each other
*qaghojlaHmoHqang 'ach qaghojqangmoHlaHbe' = I'm willing to make you able to learn but I'm unable to make you willing to learn
*vIghojmoHqa'laH 'ach vIghojHa'moHlaHbe' = I can resume teaching her but I can't make her unlearn / mislearn.
*yIHub'eghlaHHa'moH = Make him unable to defend himself!
(I only marked the ones that were improperly formed with *; not the ones that were properly formed but mean something other than what was intended)

Great article.
I missed reading the <bIlugh> in your reply at first so I was in suspense right to the last line of the article as to whether I had forgotten some special rule for *chenmoHnIS.
I used to have a problem with some --nISmoH forms, especially Say'nISmoH because I had used Say'moH to myself so many times in learning vocabulary while doing daily activities. <Say'nISmoH> just felt WRONG, and I was convinced that the same thing must happen to Klingons. I'll still lob a suffix onto the end of a word where it doesn't belong from time to time, but it's usually because the idea expressed was an afterthought now.
