Qagh law' lutu'lu'.  That's what I get for trying to do my job -- my real
job, I'm not pretending I'm keeping up with BG work -- and count beats (I
locked myself into three foot strong weak medium with he first line and
decided to try and maintain it) hile writing Klingon.

That's why it's important to pronounce words properly, because if you
mispronounce them then you misremember them and you make stupid mistakes
