A request with regards to the coming qep'a'
Soon another qep'a' will take place, and as always the new vocabulary will be posted on this list. I would like to request, if it would be possible, this new vocabulary to be posted in text format which can be copy-pasted, instead of some kind of image file, as it happened last year. If it is posted in an image format, the task of updating individual/personal dictionaries will be overly time-consuming for some people, who due to mundane every day obligations of real life, lack the necessary time to re-write everything by hand. Let alone the fact, that when copying something by hand, there is always the possibility of errors. ~ nI'ghma
Then I recommend waiting until the words are added to the new word list. That way you can cut and paste them, and they will have any extra information gained during the qep'a' in their entries. The words posted during the qep'a' will most likely just be a copy of the handout that everyone attending receives in order to make sure everyone is seeing the same thing. I would also ask anyone who can to support the KLI's qep'a', even if you can't attend you can donate. The more support we get, the more we can do for the language. Things like this mailing list and the new words we get wouldn't be possible without the work of the KLI. qurgh On Jun 14, 2018 8:47 AM, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote: Soon another qep'a' will take place, and as always the new vocabulary will be posted on this list.

I second the motion. While keyboarding by hand does help you learn the new words -- or at least remember they exist -- a text format is more convenient for copy-and-pasting into word lists and other files. But whatever the format, I'm always very grateful when all the new information is shared with the collective. I know how much work it entails. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons -----------------------------------Original Message----------------------------------- From: mayqel qunenoS Soon another qep'a' will take place, and as always the new vocabulary will be posted on this list.
