He did a good job. Because Star trek has such nerd appeal and the Klingons have such ...sex appeal I suppose the infactuation was inevitable.
That will have to change with computerization. Spanish used to count CH, LL and RR as single letters but they recently normalized that because they were out of step with the entire rest of the planet. I've heard it spoken. It sounds a bit like the phoneme in Aztec that's transcribed TL. Or like HL in Czech.
