You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s Crazy!
A dad who speaks a pretend space language to his child.
According to published reports, a man named d’Armond Speers spoke only Klingon to his child for the first three years of the child’s life.
Klingon? For three years. You mean the Klingon from the neutral zone in Star Trek?
Yep that’s what I mean.
Where the hell was Mrs. Speers during all of this? Probably practicing a little Vulcan mind meld on the pool boy.
In my estimation, Mr. Speers wasted 3 years, which is only like 14 minutes on Klingon. I mean the guy could have spoken Spanish, or French or Mandarin, if he wanted to get the little guy’s brain percolating.
But Klingon! It’s nonsense from 1968 bad television. It’s a Gene Roddenberry hallucinegenic wet dream, is what it is.
What a waste!
According to published reports; “I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language,” Speers told the Minnesota Daily. “He was definitely starting to learn it.”
Surprisngly; Speers is not a Star Trek fan. He does, however, have a doctorate in computational linguistics and works for a company called Ultralingua, which develops language translation software.
That at least explains away some of your insanity, Mr. Speers.
That explains why you are using your baby as a guinnea pig, instead of letting him live long and prosper. You are teaching him nonsensical gobbeldygook. (yes that is a word here on Earth)
I GOOGLED (Also an Earth Term) Klingon Alphabet and it’s amazing how many devotees there are to this linguistic lie.
Check out this ridiculous craziness from a web site called: The sounds of Klingon.
Paramount wanted the language to be gutteral and harsh, and Okrand wanted it to be unusual, so he selected sounds that combined in ways not typically found in other languages (e.g. a retroflex D and a dental t, but no retroflex T or dental d). Here’s a description of the sounds of Klingon, and the way they’re written in the standard Okrand writing-system
HUH?
This is the inspiration for your child development Mr. Speers?
You need the Department of Children’s Services to pay you a visit and see what the hell you are smoking.
Seems to be that you wasted 3 years of your child’s development on something as fatuous as Klingon.
That’s not just crazy, it’s stupid.
I wonder how you say that at warp speed?
