: You think it sounds choppy? Well, in Klingon, that IS style. My favorite

From the (frequently unread) introduction to The Klingon Dictionary:

will allow the student of Klingon to figure out what a Klingon is
saying and to respond in an intelligible, though somewhat brutish,
manner. Most Klingons will never know the difference.
