As a regular user of boQwI', I can say the entries are clearly marked in a
way that users cannot miss. For example, I wasn't familiar with {pabpo'} so
I typed it in, and this came up:
?pabpo'
n. grammarian
That question mark is really conspicuous. I don't have to read the entry to
know that I should be really careful about using that word. And once I
think that, I'm going to read the entry to figure out why I should be
careful. Only the most careless novice would run with it--and they'll have
a lot of other mistakes to fix anyway.

I'd briefly answer: use canon only.<br>
<br>
A longer answer would point to the problem that many people do not read the=
entry completely so they may think the shown word is correct or real canon=
. Once an incorrect/fake/noncanon word is flying around in the web, it is r=
eally hard to catch it again (as happened with incorrect word {qaqItlhneS},=

You never know who will copy your word list or learn from it and reproduce =
it on other places, claiming it to be true klingon.<span class=3D"HOEnZb"><=
