Thanks, but that's not quite what I meant. My point is that we don't need to
make Klingon resemble English. To show that, I wrote a message but didn't
tell you what language I wrote it in. If someone could guess the language, I
might not have done such a good job at translating it. But if you couldn't
guess, I'd have proven my point: Klingon grammar is just fine the way it is.
We don't need to invent any more of it.

If anyone's been studying these messages, by now I'm sure they know that I was
composing in Klingon and translating into Klingon. Maybe my English sentences
seemed a bit too simple.

Fight well, Eric!
