I had to unsubscribe for a while because of email intray overload.
Writing Klingon (in the Roman alphabet) with all the letters in the same
case (e.g. **{dujhomvad} for {DujHomvaD}) is a bad breach of style but
comprehensible - except for the distinction q/Q. What is people's experience
of having to transmit Klingon text in a medium such as Morse Code or some
telex codes that have only one case of letters?
What also if the medium used (e.g. Morse as far as I know) has no code for
apostrophe? When I have seen Klingon words used as PC filenames (where
Messy-DOS won't allow apostrophes, although it will allow many other sorts of
veQ such as curly brackets), any apostrophes are omitted; but that can't be
done easily with continuous text.
