[Tlhingan-hol] Story - Out of order installments

[Robyn Stewart]

For those who haven't met Marc, I want to confirm what ghunchu'wI' says. He
smiles, he nods, he says that something is interesting, but he never says
that it is wrong. I have witnessed two people with different viewpoints
approaching Marc for adjudication and both walking away feeling their
viewpoint has been confirmed. He is a MASTER at this. Poor guy probably has
to deal with execrable Klingon from fans, as well as Paramount, and he
smiles and signs their copy of TKD.

Marc Okrand has a knack for seeming not to disagree, but not actually
confirming something. I have enough context now to feel comfortable ignoring
this particular phrase as an example to emulate.

If I were presented with the phrase in Klingon, I too would translate it
into English that way. But I have less tact and more impudence than Marc
does, so I would also point out that while the intended meaning is obvious,
TKD does not support saying it that way.
