I will try not to be shocked and instead will use my own judgement and
that of my fellow klingonists to create and use klingon sentences...
And maybe even correct one or two of those errors.

I must admit that I would prefer {qaparHa'} to {SoHvaD bang vIghajtaH} for
the simple reason that the former is short and direct.
I do have one more question though... seeing as both {par} and {muS} are
verbs conveying negative emotions, would it not be better to use {-be'},
as -Ha' carries the sense of something being changed, (undo/done wrong)
and -be' simple means "oposite" (Hate, unhate). where with {muSHa'} you
would have to hate first, with {muSbe'} you just *not* hate...
