Maybe, but that maybe because the English isn't as important to me as the
Klingon. Part of me doesn't care what the English translation is, simply what
the Klingon means to the person hearing it.

I hope that over time, as I build up more vocab, I can write more and more
without a single English word or concept in my mind. I have to break my mind of
wanting (and needing) to use English. A tlhIngan Hol internal monologue would
be wonderful, but I wonder if it's truely possible.
