After a long day of Jury Duty, I'm going over everyone's comments
(many people sent replies only to me, which may or may not have been
their intent).
I seem to not know the difference between -moH and -choH or tlhutlh or tlhuH.
I also need to work with my prefixes.
HIvqa' veqlargh!
As far as using clipped Klingon when many recommended an imperative
prefix; I did that on purpose.
I really hated the idea of commanding someone while they were supposed
to be relaxing.
You! Relax! NOW!
But at the same time, I do need to stay grammatical...
With this in mind, thoughts?
As far as claiming that a butterfly can use language; I hadn't seen
the video when I started the project, and didn't realize that our
"friend" was an insect. The suffix was never changed after I saw the
video.
I was trying to stretch the use of {cheb} and say something to the
effect of "feel the pounds".
I admit it was a stretch and I'll recast.
I seem to have omitted a few details; heartbeats, clouds...
That was an oversight on my part.
I had meant to come back to those and didn't.
I'll begin putting better placeholders in my rough drafts.
I also didn't proof read very well.
I apologize to the Community for not taking more time on the project
as I should have.
Even though the organization wanted the project done quickly, I
shouldn't have let something that sloppy go out.
reH Suvrup SuvwI''a'.
And my pronunciation needs a lot of help.
I hope to get a lot of practice in August ;-)
In defense of my American r's, though; even the sound clips on the KLI
site don't have trilled r's...
I'll post a revision this weekend.
