I think I understand this . . . "If you are not using the Klingon language, why are you increasing the vocabulary?"
I have a few conlangs I would like to learn several years down the road when I have the time to study them and their vocabularies have grown to a size that makes them usable in daily life (Klingon has gotten much better in this regard . . . when D'Armond Speers tried to teach his son the language, much was made out of the fact that Klingon lacked a word for "table"). Klingon, Na'vi, Dothraki, Sally Caves' Teonaht, Brithenig, Kankonian (a language spoken by extraterrestrial humans that already has 50,000 words), and the famous Ithkuil. I'm not too interested in the IAL's/auxlangs nor in Lojban. Lojban is too nerdy for me; Klingon, Na'vi, and Dothraki are more geeky than nerdy. And the IAL's usually don't have interesting quirks like Klingon's OVS and polysynthesis, or Teonaht's law of detachment. (FWIW, I could also mention that Tolkien said Esperanto was dead because it didn't have a mythology.) To help Klingon grow in vocabulary, I'd like to stir the pot, so to speak, for the time being.
