I'm not talking about some pesonal facebook message, I'm talking about
The Klingon Dictionary, which is Okrand's work that he used to create
Klingon in the movies.

The following example is not an actual situation, but people on MA would
accept "Kappla" if it were written as such in the closed captions, and
if I tell them that it's spelled {Qapla'} in TKD, they would say it's
not canon, because that's not how it appeared on screen.

That's what I see as silly or maybe even quite stubborn to refuse that,
although they know that Okrand has written the Klingon words for the
movies. I mean, it's the official Klingon dictionary, and not something
that some random guy has written.

Nevertheless, although I don't agree with them, I accept that it's their
policy and let them do it their way - including naming the language
"Klingonese". ;-)
