<p>Why not just leave it to <i>glossy</i> and <i>shiny</i> and not
try to editorialize what words mean? People have access to
dictionaries.</p>
<p>All this talk is not about the difference between the Klingon
words <b>chorgh</b> and <b>boch,</b> but about the difference
between the English words <i>glossy</i> and <i>shiny.</i>
Whether these words translate absolutely exactly is unknown.<br>
