{luq.} I am narrowing down the choices, and until I choose one I will sign
my postings with my e-mail address "[email protected]".
>Oh, you seem to be missing some sentences that appear in your English, like
>{wej tlhIngan pongwIj vIwIv.}
{HIja'.} When I re-arranged the sentences I forgot to "paste" that one after
I "cut" it, and I also must admit that I forgot to use the {wej} so my
sentence was probably incomplete giving no reference to the possibility of
choosing one in the future by leaving off the "not yet."
>What you've got here is a sentence-as-object sentence. "I plan that I use

{qayaj.} I am still in the process of grasping these constructs and when to
use them. I am reading and re-reading sections one through seven and
retaining more each time.

Yes, I am enrolled in a technical college that teaches computer programming
(unfortunately not AI); but it also teaches hardware/software configuration,
upgrade and maintenance, diagnostics and building them from the parts up. So
I was trying to use a broad ranging phrase like "they teach computers" but
that doesn't seem to come across well in {tlhIngan Hol}. This is most likely
an example of when a sentence-as-object sentence should be used, but I'm not
sure what the first one would be (before the {'e'} ).
>Until we get an official word on this from Marc Okrand, I advocate care.
Do you mean an official word for "Artificial Intelligence"?

{HIja'.} "You will not only learn how to think as a Klingon, you will learn
how to BE Klingon!" - Qang ghawran
And you will learn to speak Chancellor O'Reilly's dialect, which doesn't
always conform to Okrand the Unforgettable's dialect.
