Man Speaks Only Klingon To Child For Three Years

d'Armond Speers has a doctorate in computational linguistics but that wasn't enough for him. He is now pursuing the coveted "World's Worst Dad" title. To this end he has decided to treat his child like a verengan Ha'DIbaH and speak only Klingon around the child for the first 3 years of his life. "I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language," Speers told the Minnesota Daily. "He was definitely starting to learn it."

    You must be on of those people that sees parents beat their kids in a walmart parking lot and think they must be right and ignore it. Thanks for outing yourself, coward.

    You must be one of those parents that are raising children with a sense of entitlement by not beating them when they deserve it. Thanks for outing yourself, asshole.

    You must be the parent either from the story, or another fucking retard parent that gives there child social disabilities that they'll have to overcome. Doesn't matter if you name your child adolfhitler jones or you teach them kling-on for there first years of development. Oh how cute, your three year old can say 'hello' in kling-on? How cute is it when he's in 6th grade and is in remedial english because his parent was a fucking jerkoff.

    Instead of experimenting on your kid, or worse, anyone elses, use your education in language and communication AND GIVE HIM SOMETHING USEFUL and an advantage.

    where the fuck is your common sense?
