My little sister once insisted that I teach her "I love you" in as many
languages as I could.  Having taught her the French, Latin (and
therefore Italian), Spanish and German, the only other language I could
manage was Klingon.  However, in my naivity (sp?) I used {bang} - I
guess I'll have to let her know that that's 'wrong'.  I'm trying to
gather a few other languages - hopefully soon I'll be able to do Quenya
and Sindarin.

It's also useful for girlfriends - especially when they've never
listened to Power Klingon.
