Often we talk about "what if.." one day it was allowed to write klingon using lower case.


Some would like that, and others not.


Out of curiosity though.. if we *did* write in lower case, how would we distinguish between the q and Q ?

You'd have to make a choice. Since q sounds much more like a k than Q does, I'd turn q into k and leave Q alone.

Another possibility (not even counting the use of diacritics) would be to do with Q what Klingon does with gh, tlh, and ch: add an h after the q. That way, you're not tempted to make the q sound like a k.
