Don't forget that {<Email address>vam} is what's annoying you, and so it's
the subject of the sentence. Remember, Klingon word order is
object-verb-subject.
Also, we unfortunately don't have much Klingon vocabulary relating to
computer software. As far as we know, {ghun} ("program (a computer)") is
only a verb.

A small typo - The verb {Da} ("act like, behave like") doesn't have a {'} at
the end of it.
The pronoun {'e'} ("that") is used to represent the previous sentence, not
just the previous object. So you don't need it in this case.
If you translate "I act like a robot", you would not need to use {'e'}. The
object of "act like" is "a robot", which is a noun.
If you translate "I act like I'm drunk", you *would* use {'e'}. The object
of "act like" is "I'm drunk", which is a whole sentence.
