You're laughing at this, but if you would come to a qep'a' you would see
that we have already DONE exactly this, and still do! We DO go into
restaurants and order in Klingon. With some help from interpreters and
appropriate hand-gestures, we leave behind servers who know what "bIQ"
means, or "Ha'DIbaH." This is actual fact; I've been there and done
it. Don't you go telling me you can't use Klingon in everyday life.
Procrastinating? I don't see it.
