I don't want to practice the wrong thing.  If you practice doing things 
the wrong way, it's very difficult when you want to do things the right 
way.

I strongly disagree with you.  I've learned a lot because we've been 
discussing these "nitpicks".  You can learn a lot about a language even if 
you're not using that language.  When we need to be clear in our 
discussions, we use English so we are clear.  I ask questions *because* I 
want to be able to discuss these things in Klingon.

We'll stop when we can use it right.  We all think differently, and we 
want to test our ideas.  When we all agree, we'll stop.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention.  I've often used Klingon in 
recent times.  But I also translate to English so I can be clearly 
understood.  I also hope that my mistakes will be revealed if I translate 
my stuff.

I use English when I need to say complicated things about Klingon, because 
I want to be clearly understood.  Ignore my English postings if you don't 
care about them.
