I am always telling people that when they want to write and print something in Klingon, they should use the typographical apostrophe that looks like a small "9", or like a flying comma.
This has been used like this on Okrand's 3 books, but otherwise I started to wonder... why?
Is there any reason or source or whatever that says that {’orwI’} is better than {'orwI'}? Does this {'} mean anything else than {’}? Or is this just for the look?
I've never understood why people say that, unless it's just a rigid adherence to the style guide that produced TKD. Personally, I'd rather see straight quotes, to distinguish them from actual quotation marks. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
