[Tlhingan-hol] Bad Klingon in Trek novels (and the like)

[Robyn Stewart]

At 20,000', trusting the autopilot, I'll tell you the harm. 

Imagine I've bought a TKD and it captures my imagination. I wonder if people could really learn this. I've -heard- of people speaking Klingon. So I check out the bible thing. It's gibberish. Oh well, I guess no one really does this, and a potential Klingonist is lost. 

That's similar to what happened to me. 

Also I finished this after landing.
