<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Often we
talk about "what if.." one day it was allowed to write klingon
using lower case.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Some would
like that, and others not.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Out of
curiosity though.. if we *did* write in lower case, how would
we distinguish between the q and Q ?</p>

<p>You'd have to make a choice. Since <b>q</b> sounds much more
like a <i>k</i> than <b>Q</b> does, I'd turn <b>q</b> into <i>k</i>
and leave <b>Q</b> alone.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Another possibility (not even counting the use of diacritics)
would be to do with <b>Q</b> what Klingon does with <b>gh, tlh,
</b>and <b>ch:</b> add an <i>h</i> after the <i>q.</i> That
way, you're not tempted to make the <b>q</b> sound like a <i>k.</i><br>
