Don't forget my favorite ... no cotages in cottage cheese (cottage choose?)
Also, I am fluent in Italian and have found that there is just no possible
way to express some things in Itallian that we take for granted as
colloquilisms in English and vice versa. I see no reason to expect that our
sayings should even begin to be transltable into the warriors languge or
theirs into ours. Asking you to open a light is strange in English, but
proper in Itallian. It is a good day to die in English, but only a Klingon
(or Okrand?) could tell us what it truely is in thlIngan Hol.
