That's true, for a number of reasons. First among them is that tribbles are fictional creatures which do not exist.

Before anyone pipes up saying Klingons are fictional too, consider the distinction between the aliens and the language. Klingons obviously don't exist outside the stories, but the language which shares their name is spoken by people in the real world.

Good plan. Most people do experience interference between multiple non-native languages until they reach a sufficient level of fluency in one of them.

Epsilon Delta and the TechnoKats don't share any regionals this year. Come see me at the Championship if a) you'll be there, and b) you're still curious about Klingon. I will be sure to bring some materials to show off (and some to give out).
