I for one am not here to "get my Klingon sentences right." I'm here
to communicate. If a particular English phrase is unruly and hard to
fit in Klingon grammar, I will discard the phrase and choose another
way to express the idea. If the phrase can be translated easily by
using a lot of {'oHbogh}s and {-taHghach}s, I will choose not to take
the easy way out.
