You're showing remarkable restraint. :-)  Maybe we should commission him
to write a "real" dictionary the way we want to see it.  Maybe we should
just bite the bullet and recognize that the language has grown to the
point that it no longer needs "parental approval" on grammatical issues.
Paramount has bestowed legitimacy upon the Klingon Language Institute;
perhaps the KLI's charter ought to be expanded to include *management*
of the language instead of simply studying it.  qulyoD yIchu'!
