[tlhIngan Hol] DSC Klingon Trailer transcription (NOT offlist)

[mayqel qunenoS]

I agree with many of the things, which you said lieven.

I have no problem with accepting new rules from 'oqranD.

If someone brings to his attention a problem, and he says "this is the way
to do it", then I will be happy because we learn something new, or because
we receive a clarification much needed.

But I don't like mistakes being canonized "out of kindness" towards the
people who made them.

In my opinion, if something like this takes place, it is disrespectful
towards the rest of the people.

And it is disrespectful for a simple reason..

Because as a result, all klingonists will be categorized as such:

Those whose mistakes are canonized..
Those whose mistakes aren't canonized..

And this very wrong.
