His idea *is* intriguing, however, and for all the tlhInganpu' out there or
tlhIngan Hol-speaking Humanpu', he should look into it. A point I raise
again is that the Klingon language is one of the fastest growing artificial
languages in the world and a depth into Klingon culture would be beneficial
to people who have already mastered the Klingon language and would like to
put their skills to new work in, for example, a Klingon book, or anyone who
would like to paint a portrait of Klingon life, etc.
It furthers the use of the Klingon language in many different ways.

Personally, I think pIqaD should hurry up and be canon so I know if it's
worth it or not.
