>From Dr. Schoen's Hamlet Press Release:
"The end result: a translation complete with rhyming iambic pentameter, but
in the original Klingon!"
Could someone please explain exactly what iambic pentameter is? I tried
looking it up in the dictionary, but that only led to a maze of other
definitions I had to look up. I've known this phrase for years, but I have
yet to find out precicely what it means! I understand only that it has to do
with whether syllables are long or short, and how they're arranged.
