The BG can only tell what you are trying to say by the translation you
provide. If I say "chonuQqa'chugh qaHoH" and then translate it as
"please don't do that again," most people know that I'm kidding
around, but when Klingon and its translation differ at all in a KLBC
posting, it's the BG's job to point out the discrepancy. Sometimes a
small difference conceals a large misunderstanding. yItuv.
