[Tlhingan-hol] Internode Klingon promo

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Love the video and radio ads! majQa'!

They've now updated their Klingon text; the new one is an honest effort, but still wrong:
ylqoj ylbanghqo'

Same thing with the error text:
nuq jIyajbe

So, they're clearly interested in getting it right, and putting some effort into it; they're just not all the way there.
Perhaps one should send them an e-mail?

I wanted to see how it would react if I actually directly decoded the characters to Okrand's romanization.  It's response was:

{in pIqaD} wHat I Don't unDerStanD
{in Roman letters} That’s Klingon for "What? I don't understand!" You're speaking gibberish.

Pot, Kettle.  "Black!"
