Ack!  The pressure!!

Remember, everyone, I'm just as likely to make spelling errors as anyone else. 
 My words are *not* canon!  And my speculations are also *not* canon!  (In 
fact, I'm beginning to ease off on my conservative approach to the grammar, 
for certain reasons, even if this may not yet be obvious.  But never fear!  
I'm just as stubborn as ever!)

Watch your sentence order!  YOU are the subject, and come last.  "SkyBox" is 
the object and comes first.  And why have you used the interrogative 
(question) suffix?

HIja'.  *SkyBox* vItu'ta'!

maj!

huh?  The Klingon greeting, {nuqneH} "What do you want?" uses a lower-case 
{q}.  And it's not a verb; you can't put {-vIp} on it.  What do you mean to 
say?

I also don't get this . . .
