Re: Appropriateness (was Re: RotterdamDaq qep'a)

I do not think this page should be restricted to dry grammar and the
abilities of those who have been learning the language for five years to
impress those who just began.
There are many aspects of klingon culture/language which do need to be
explored. Further, klingons are being invented by Paramount studios in
their Star Trek presentations. To sever star trek from klingon would be
like severing Bushido from the Japanese, trying to learn words in vacuu
not appreciating that without getting a feel for the culture etc. this
would be more than a dead language, it would be meaningless.
The MUSH, where people use tlhIngan Hol in 'everyday' life, another
aspect which is to be 'severed' from this page, would again reduce the
language to a mere---'you're aspect is wrong', 'your suffix should be'-
which is, with all respect, sort of boring.
