Yeah in fact as it turns out his kid acquired English fine in school and forgot how to speak Klingon, just like most immigrant kids whose parents speak to them in a language that they don't use anywhere else in their lives.

What I really find amusing is that this incident is from 10 years ago, but the original link breathlessly reports it like breaking news.

Huh, the lengths some people will go to for content. The original page did seem suspect.
