As a begining student of the tlhIngan Hol, I have read with interest the
grammer (corrections/policing/criticizing) /choose one/ of several (IMHO)
well qualified "Grammerians". If this were left up to a voting process, I
would be very hard pressed to choose between charghwI', yoDtargh, or ~mark.
If the position is truly rotational, I look forward to seeing charghwI' as
BG again (I still don't know why he reminds me so much of Jim Henson, must
be the beard). Both yoDtargh and ~mark are (again IMHO) well qualified to
reign as BG as successors to charghwI'neS, but I would like to throw my
vote for yoDtargh as BG for this term.
Better yet, how about a ballot and the list can vote on it?
