That's your favorite? Really?
You apparently haven't seen this:
"The Klingon Language Version of the World English Bible Psalms"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UHVIOC/ref=s9_simh_gw_p351_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1EK381MPF1N4JG03ES57&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
It is available at amazon's kindle shop and it is completely translated
by comupter software. It's complete bullshit! It's a shame for the
entire Klingon fandom and should be legally forbidden by the KLI.
I do not know Joel Anderson in person and do not want to insult him, but
I hate him for publishing this crap. It's making fun of the effort all
klingonists on the world have done during the past thirty years. It's
also his "effort" creating other bad translations with his mr.klingon
website, by the way.
Sorry to be so harsh on him, but just check it out yourself.
Lieven.
