klingon is a 'rude' language, if one is accustomed to all sorts of words
to blunt meaning and put vaseline around concepts. Here, in Jamaica,
many people speak a kind of patois which is also very rude. I have also
found, in my learning of sign language that the deaf are very rude, by
these constructs, for a deaf person will sign to me, 'come, do, look'
without any please.
so the prob. is that one is seeing everything from yankee coloured
glasses.
