{boQwI'} actually does this for certain popular but wrong Klingon phrases.
If you search for "Urkuk lu Stalga", which the 'Internet alleges is Klingon
for "I love you, baby", you'll be directed to an explanation that this is
wrong.

But it's only worthwhile to do this for errors which are very widespread,
like if they appear on these "How to say ... in 100 languages" web sites
(which apparently all copy each other's errors).
