Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.....
I wrote some words in Klingon. I wrote them in the Latin script. John
observed that this was more proof that Klingon was conventionally
written in the Latin script, which it is. It is not conventionally
written in the pIqaD. That's why pIqaD has not been encoded in the
Unicode Standard. Enthusiasts use it decoratively; that's why it was
given a CSUR encodinng.
It's embarrassing to see someone going to such lengths to show what
an expert he is about this when he is just utterly wrong.
