Don't split hairs, Trekkie. Nobody is trying to convince you that
Klingons are real people.

"Klingon" can refer either to a fictional race of extraterrestrials
which "exist" only in stories or to a real language which exists in the
real world. I don't think making a distinction between the two is
splitting hairs.

And to reply in the same spirit, don't assume I'm a Trekkie. I learned
Klingon because it's a fun language, not because I want to focus part
of my life on a television show.

I love the way the actors who play Kinglons speak it.

Most of the actors in the Trek movies did a good job. That makes sense,
since they were coached by the creator of the language. There are a few
notable exceptions where the pronunciation guidelines weren't clearly
understood by the people speaking the lines, but for the most part it's
well done. Sometimes it's even good enough to recognize what they're
saying without the subtitles, especially Christopher Lloyd's character.

I don't think you understood my post. Pleiadians are just as fictional
as Klingons. Nutjob De Bohne believes they are real and that he is one
of them.

I was just teasing, actually. But I have to say that anyone who knows
Klingon is, by default, a Trekkie, even if they never watch the show.
