& the time to learn to speak it.

I didn't mean to imply that he didn't speak the language, only that 
I *thought* he didn't, and that my thinking so almost caused me to 
bypass the KLI.  I was wrong.  tlhIngan Hol jatlhbej Lawrence.

Oh, and I thought KLBC meant "I'm a beginner: correct me swiftly so I 
may learn," but I've just discovered that it is a cloak against such 
attack by anyone but the Beginners' Grammarian.  I *am* a beginner, 
but I won't fire while cloaked.  reH may' vIghomruptaH.
