HIja' !

however, until now, I thought that in tlhIngan Hol, {weQmoQnaQ} and
{'Internet} are interchangeable.

I read the article above (thanks !) ; So - and please correct me if
I'm wrong - one should only use the {weQmoQnaQ} for saying something
like "I downloaded data from the internet", right ?

He was going to give this more thought also, but he did say that the closest thing to World Wide Web is {weQmoQnaQ}. [...] I checked with Maltz. He's fuzzy about Terran computer technology and computer terms, but he said that {weQmoQnaQ} is not the same thing as the Internet. He said, if he understands correctly, you can do many more things with the Internet than just dealing with the {weQmoQnaQ}. But he stopped there, so I'll have to bother him again to find out about these other things. I also asked him about the word Internet. He said he thought that it was pretty funny that Terrans use that word. He laughed a little bit, as if there were some sort of a joke. But he didn't elaborate.
