This is getting frustrating, I keep making the same mistakes over and
over. It's mainly that I don't know English worth a crap which is probably
why I have such a tough time with tlhIngan Hol sentence structure, I can't
pick out the different sections from an English sentence, more or less a
Klingon one. Anyway, If you'll all continue to put up with my questions
over and over, I'll keep giving it my best shot to learn it. Thank you!
