| Quote: | PORTLAND (May 13) -- Sorry, potential Klingon interpreters.
Officials have said they won't be needing your services, after all.
The office that treats mental health patients in Multnomah County had included Klingon on a list of 55 languages that could be spoken by incoming patients.
But the inclusion of the Star Trek language drew a spate of tongue-in-cheek headlines.
And now the county has rescinded its call, stressing that it hasn't spent a penny of public money on Klingon interpretation.
``It was a mistake, and a result of an overzealous attempt to ensure that our safety net systems can respond to all customers and clients,'' Multnomah County chair Diane Linn said in a news release.
County officials had previously said that no patient had ever come in speaking only Klingon, but that the county would pay a Klingon interpreter in the unlikely case one was actually needed.
In recent years, Klingon has gone from being a fictional tongue for the Star Trek television and movie series to a complete language, with its own grammar, syntax and vocabulary. |

Did you know that when there was last a census in Britain, a load of people (in England, naturally....) decided to put 'Jedi' down as religion, because I think it's if over 1000 people put down the same religion it's recognised officially. So...over 1000 put Jedi, I think. Need I say more?
Unfortunately I think the Government twigged....
