Jeri Taylor, the only producer to return my letters, assured me that while they 
don't expect to need a lot of Klingon in VOYAGER (and hence didn't need OUR 
help) that they *always* used TKD, and that as a former English teacher she was 
sensitive to our concerns.

Go figure.

As for other Klingon words in the episode, I haven't sat thru it yet with the 
Closed Captions (the episode only aired here yesterday).
