I'm sorry if I confused anyone on the list.  I was trying to show how I 
broke down a sentence, but I got a bit over zealous with the paranthesis.  
I will leave the instructing for the more qualified.  I am still a beginner 
and am definitely still in the learning mode (as evidenced by QelHo' vs. 
Ho'Qel).  

I would like to see the KLBC continue with dialogue in tlhIngan Hol, and 
have a single grammerian assigned to watch over us and correct the mistakes 
with a simple explanation.  I need to practice both reading and writing 
tlhIngan Hol.  I'm tired of just trying to memorize things and would like 
to put my knowledge (or lack there of) to use.

Some of you out there are bound to have things happening in your lives that 
are as interesting as a visit to the dentist.  Please write a short bit in 
tlhIngan Hol and post it.
