Lucky for us, the differing interpretations yield the desired results.
Because TKD does not use the word "header," some might argue to stick to the
explanations TKD does use. I personally have been guilty as charged of
expanding TKD explanations. I have used other words to describe Klingon
grammar than what we have seen in TKD. This can be very helpful to
TKD-learning-impaired newbies. I feel that it is not wrong to explain in
other ways that we find are truly helpful to persons trying to learn Klingon.
Meanwhile, I have learned to be extremely cautious when changing what TKD
says. Even when we change the words we use, we must be very good at not
changing the concepts a jot or tittle.
