Then, what is your problem with my "r" being pronounced in the back
of my mouth, instead of in front with the tip of my tongue?
In a previous post (which I unfornunately have deleated already), you
said you wouldn't be able to understand me if I did so, that you
wouldn't be able to distinguish between my Klingon "r" and Klingon
"gh". And now you are contradicting yourself?
