Any choice of language restricts the audience. And I think anyone
who can read what you have written would use English, knowing that
the BGs all speak it. Remember your recent realization that ability
to understand Klingon does not imply adulthood? Soon I hope to
discover that it doesn't imply ability to understand English, either.

Or simply use the language of the subject header.

I wouldn't want or expect the people who can read this posting to
suddenly stop posting in English. The purpose of this is to ADD the
people who can't participate in English. We should definitely accept
postings in every language in which TKD is published.

SKI: Qov wants everyone who can read any version of the Klingon
Dictionary to be able to post here, and will find a way to mark
German KLBCs. In one generation of learners we will have native
German and Portuguese Klingon speakers to do it.
