I never noticed this before. Someone asked me to translate "goes to
Qo'noS" for the message shown when a person goes through a door in
comuter-based virtual world. I immediately said {Qo'noS ghoS} and
then realized that {ghoS} is the closest possible Klingon
transcription of "goes." Was this a lip-matcher from the movies?
(Yes, for those of you familiar with the MU* world, an @osucc of
"Qo'noS ghoS" doesn't work out properly, but he wasn't willing to
make it an @asucc to get the word order right. There are a lot of
interesting internationalization isses for MU* code.)
