Re: Klingon translation program-pojwI

I used to use it as a quick double-check of my own grammar before I sent
something. That was before I stopped subscribing to the mailing list at
work, where I use DOS-based computers. My home computers are Macintosh.
When I installed my new system, I refused to put a computerized dictionary
of any sort on it, which I'm convinced led to my learning the vocabulary
much more quickly than if I had been able to rely on a drag-n-drop crutch.
I still fire off the occasional Klingon email from where I work, but now
I run it through my own grammar-check program. I have paper charts (and
a refrigerator magnet) for the prefixes and suffixes, and for looking up
half-remembered words I use a fantastic dictionary program on my PalmPilot.
