Summary for the Klingon Impaired

The Summary for the Klingon Impaired, usually abbreviated as SKI, is a hint at what was said in Klingon for those too lazy to try to translate or those not skilled enough to easily understand what was said an idea of the meaning while at the same time encouraging them to practice translating. The SKI is often a technically correct summary, but maybe tantalizing and misleading.

Robyn Stewart originated SKI (originally S.K.I.) on the e-mail discussion list in August 1996.

Variation

In a message to the list of August 2019 which was written entirely in the dialect of Morska, a Klingonist named Hugh Son puqloD introduced SMI for "Summary of the Morskan impaired".
