Why Superheroes Wear Their Underwear On The Outside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8Q699A6egU
In this video:
The man is computational linguist Dr. d’Armond Speers. Speers is actually not a huge Start Trek fan himself. Indeed many Klingon language enthusiasts aren’t, contrary to popular belief. They tend to be language lovers fascinated by constructed languages, of which Klingon is a relatively thriving one, hence why they gravitate towards it. Speers became fascinated with the Klingon language after reading a flyer on a bulletin board at Georgetown where Speers was studying linguistics. The flyer was advertising the Klingon Language Institute (KLI), founded by Dr. Larence M. Schoen. “I thought to myself, ‘A new language.’ The fact that it was a constructed language really appealed to me. It sounded like fun,” said Speers.
