>From this month's Ansible: 'Klingon speakers, those who have devoted themselves to the study of a language invented for the _Star Trek_ franchise, inhabit the lowest possible rung of the geek ladder. Dungeons & Dragons players, ham radio operators, robot engineers, computer programmers, comic book collectors -- they all look down on Klingon speakers. Even the most ardent _Star Trek_ fanatics, the Trekkies, who dress up in costume every day, who can recite scripts of entire episodes, who collect _Star Trek_ paraphernalia with mad devotion, consider Klingon speakers beneath them.' (Arika Okrent, _In The Land Of Invented Languages_, 2009)
