Intense dislike? I doubt it. Here we simply have a logical case of Okrand
forgetting exactly how {net} works. He's not trying to demonstrate actual
Klingon usage (though, if he's cornered, he'll explain it away as something
like that). He just goofed. A lot. Many other students of Klingon make
the same mistake many times before figuring it out. Remember, Okrand is no
expert Klingon speaker!
