Don't worry. It's better (and more fun) for the rest of us if you tell us
when
you notice Okrand's little linguistic jokes. Personally, I'd rather hear
about
them twice rather than not at all, because you're afraid of repeating someone
else. Besides, some of us may not have been paying attention the first time
and forgot to write it down. Not to mention any newcomers to the list.
BTW, is there a section of the FAQ listing some of Okrand's more egregious
puns?
