We are having off topic discussions very often, and at least, it's still 
related to klingon :-)

Thanks you're saying that - I have always felt similar. I also do not 
like the l looking like an L, the D looking like a greek D, and the I 
looking close to an Y, and the u is close to a tilted u. Certainly the 
apostrophe looking like an apostrophe is the worst of all.

So it's obviously someone who did not know much about tlhIngan Hol, 
except for the existing letters.

Don't misunderstand me - I do like the pIqaD we know and I cannot change 
it back to something else now. It's simply that I agree with De'vID that 
some of the letters look very terran.
