klingon_story1-8 Exercise 2: Why It Stayed in Beta =================================================== Duolingo offered to promote the course, but its developers declined until the software could handle Klingon properly. The problems were the case-sensitive spelling (capital and small letters are different sounds) and the apostrophe, which Duolingo's software treated as punctuation rather than a consonant. It shows that Klingon's spelling does not behave like the spelling of a natural language written in Latin letters, so ordinary software that assumes case does not matter and apostrophes are not letters has to be adapted.
