I'm genuinely curious -- what are you getting out of it? How is it helping
you?

I don't understand how this applies to the generally cryptic and
acontextual {to' nech} "translations".

I don't intend this as a flame, but if I thought Sean was doing "good work"
I certainly wouldn't keep finding myself railing against it. He's doing
work, to be sure, and it's certainly likely that he's learning from the
corrections of some of the grammatical errors he's making. But in the
process, he's spewed more bad Klingon onto the list in a few days than I've
seen in months, and I see that as a bad thing.
