Alan described an aspect of English that I thought might resemble
French.
I wanted someone to describe part of French so I could better teach
English speakers Klingon.
Notes: Wow! I do believe that's the longest Klingon sentence I have
ever naturally produced. But I have a question about the middle
sentence of the Klingon. I like the sentence very much as it is, but I
fear that confusion may come of it. If you understood it fine, please
let me know. My concern is that since I'm using the hidden "it" in the
null prefix to refer to a subject created by the previous sentence,
things will get confused. But I much prefer the above to, "chaq
"France" Hol rur "English" Hol 'ay''e' Delbogh ghunchu'wI' 'e' vIQub."

Glory to you, and to your House.
