Except in formal situations, however, the omission of {lu-} in such cases
is overlooked. Though technically an error, and jarring to many Klingons'
ears, it causes no confusion as to the intended meaning of the sentence.
It is important to note that this does not mean that the use of {lu-} is
optional; it is left off only under specific conditions. (KGT 172)
I think the text of a SkyBox card counts as "formal."
