Translation: There certainly is a _Klingon for Dummies_. It's called _The
Klingon Dictionary_. Do you own a copy? If you want to learn Klingon, you
definitely should. (But you can't get it off the Internet.) And I'm certainly
not an English scholar. I have no formal language training (beyond high
school).

Translation: No problem! Delete what you can't understand! Many messages are
in English. You can read those. Buy _The Klingon Dictionary_ and practice
Klingon here.
