De'vID:
Here's my reason: one day, Marc Okrand will no longer be involved with the Klingon language.
I've thought of this recently too.. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem accepting anything new as Ca'Non, as long as the following conditions were satisfied: 1: There was an authority recognized within the klingon community, as being *the* official authority on klingon. And by authority, I don't mean "person"; I mean something like the kli, publishing new words or clarifications on grammar. 2: Grammar-wise, the clarifications would come from known grammarians, submitted through kli channels. 3: Vocabulary-wise, new words could be submitted by *all* people, known within the community to be able to actually write a f*** sentence. ..If the above conditions were met, and any new material came through kli, *and through kli only*, then I would be willing to accept new Ca'Non. But I wouldn't use, not even as toilet paper, arguments like: "we'll accept this word or this grammar, because someone who worked on a movie decided so". If we're to understand each other, while using this language, there has to be a central authority/institution/organization, through which new knowledge will be established. ~ m. qunen'oS good.. good.. let the Ca'Non flow through you..
