Nice speech from Qov.
I have noticed that most people who talk "about" Klingon are those who
do not speak or use it. Same at the qepHom: students are discussing
about the question whether a zombie without a tongue is considered a
living being capable of speech, but those students don't even know how
to tell their name in Klingon.
At the qepHom I keep telling my students to use whatever they know.
Don't bother too much about what a QemjIq is or not: just use the word.
There won't be any life-threatening misunderstandings :-)
It's better to speak wrong Klingon than to speak nothing at all.
Lieven.
