Yeah, I was shooting for "I am willing to learn Klingon, but Rome wasn't
built in a day."
petaQnes *charghwI'* (Should have been petaQneS, {HIvqa' veqlargh}. I typed
"S" but it came out "s". ;-) ) was trying to say "*charghwI'*, you're being
wierd (respectfully)". One should always be respectful of ones "elders"
(meant in the non-age related sense).
>"qaStaHvIS wa' jaj neH chenbe' *Rome*."
I think the problem (OK, OK ...ONE of the problems) I have is the verb
"taH", I guess I reallllly don't understand the meaning of "be at a neg.
angle". When I see it in a correct sentence it all makes sense.
*s i g h*, I think it's time I started the postal course (YOU have been
warned!).
