I seem to have started something with this question.
If I correctly recall the post "Today *I* considered only your grammar." is
about the "best fit" for the message.  It seems to be the most appropriate
translation.

A second way that would fit, would be "Today *I* consider only your
*grammar*".
If that is acceptable translation from the Klingon.

Thank you, I now understand that it was all down to emphasis.
