I know I used that term. I meant it. Whoever wrote that message about Klingonists agreeing didn't perform any kind of survey or study that I'm aware of; they just kinda figured that enough Klingonists used punctuation that they could say Klingonists "agree" on it.
It was Holtej, obviously, who wrote that into the FAQ, but I have no idea on what that is based on.
And I'm not disputing that. I'm saying I don't know of any official [...] Do you know of any such survey?
Even if there were a survey, it still wouldn't mean anything. I made a survey proving that 90% prefer "Klingon" over "Klingonese", but that will not stop anyone from using the word "Klingonese".
First of all, I wasn't originally talking to you; you butted in when you read your name. Calibrate your words before offering them.
Well, still I somehow felt offended somehow, or at least, saying more neutral, I felt addressed. Each time you refer to the Klingonwiki you name it "Lieven's wiki", as if it were just a worthless toy that I just made up. Of course I was the one who set it up, but I still wish it to be "our" wiki, not "mine".
Third, Wikilobbying: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/6p6df7/the-colbert-report-the-word---wikilobby...
I cannot access that video from my place, but the subtitle of it makes clear what it's about.
Klingons speak Klingon words. Klingons don't use English punctuation.
Klingons also don't use English letters.
Okrand DOES use punctuation for Klingon in one place in TKD:
Just for the record: Okrand uses Punctuation in KGT, TKW, Monopoly, and when using long sentences in his messages.
list mandates any punctuation beyond marking foreign terms that have been transliterated, but if it does that mandate shouldn't be kept on an editable wiki page.
Tell the list owner. PS: Would it change anything to you if I lock that page? -- Lieven L. Litaer http://www.klingonwiki.net/AboutEn/Why
