<p>Irrelevant. The whole issue here is deixis, in which you don't
have to overtly specify such things. He also didn't say <i>It is
getting closer to us,</i> which is clearly meant to be a way
this sentence could be used, even if the <i>to us</i> remains
unstated. Okrand's translations are rarely so formulaic,
especially all the way back to the carefree days of TKD.<br>
