As much as I have wanted to see rhetoric in Klingon, it feels good as a
bland, direct language.  I am afraid of misuse of the slang and dialectal
phrases.  I, too, do not want to dilute tlhIngan Hol (ta' Hol, not
necessarily including all those mu'mey ghoQ).  I hope we learn KLI-approved
tlhIngan Hol properly first and use only slang we understand clearly to
enhance our speech, not replace it.
