d'Armond Speers, a father from Minnesota, decided to only speak to his son in Klingon. For three years. I bet d'Armond will regret this decision when he's shelling out massive amounts of cash to cover the therapy his kid will need after getting pounded during recess everyday.

The kid is now 15 and apparently totally normal. The guy (who is not the person pictured in costume, which is totally misleading, imho) only spoke to him in Klingon if talking 1 on 1, so the kid was exposed to English in every other context, including seeing his father speak it to others. Apparently, for this reason, the experiment didn't work, because the kid realized he could just speak to his father in English. I'm not saying I agree with experimenting like that during a child's development, but this article only reports half the story.
