Yes, if needed. The original article debunked the claim that there were
patients who would communicate only in Klingon. I understand there their are
also geek who speak Elfish (Elvin? Elfese? whatever elves speak), but I
think the worst case of fake language is people who teach Esperanto to their
children as their native language. That's child abuse.
