Today Is a Good Day to Edit

I know that when I need to post updates to my latest regressions of Shakespeare back into his native Klingon, I turn to the exolinguist’s best friend: the Mac coding tool BBEdit*. I fire it up, and select File > New > HTML Document, then choose Klingon from the Language pop-up menu.

I’d better make sure I haven’t dishonored my family unto the severalth generation, consigning myself and them to Gre’Thor, by checking that the page is well formed (Markup > Check > Document Syntax).

Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the targs they are!

Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.

This code is a piece of gagh! You have no honor!

Perfect. Publish.

*Version 9.6 still doesn’t suck.
