'''''Note''': Klingon usually dispenses with such things as greetings, "please", or "thank you". It is recommended that you leave out these phrases.''

<!-- Note when editing: if a phrase starts or ends with an apostrophe, leave a space between it and th: please leave in the <nowiki>...</nowiki> bits for sentences that have double apostrophes, or that starts and ends italics. If desired, remove a space from the other side of the double apostrophe insteadhave an apostrophe at the beginning or end, to avoid having Wiki misinterpret the multiple apostrophes as formatting. -->
