Remember this guy?  No reaction, but yes.  He does own a Starfleet Uniform.

That video is the sort of thing I'd expect a dorky 10 year old to make and I would excuse it for the fact that it's by a 10 year old.

hyiu:
so there... we solved it !!!

that "guy" is only a kid who is only 10 yrs old, he just look "mature"...
and he lost a big bet....

I'm jumping the gun, I guess first I should say: Klingon, the language, EXISTS!

There are plenty people that speak "Yoda" though.  Or the "language" of that big froglike thing with the floppy ears.

It might be less evolved, but people are working on Star Wars languages too. There is a book and website (and this and this) to help you learn the language


--- Quote ---Also Star Trek conventions.

How are these different from Star Wars conventions?


--- Quote ---Star Wars is far more mainstream.  It's strictly a shallow, popcorn affair.  It's just doesn't provide enough meat for the weirdos to bath themselves in.  Hmm . . . I think that's a mixed metaphore. 

--- End quote ---
You just get shallow weirdos. Why would that be less weird?

shmokes:
Shrug.  Because weirdness is directly correlated to social norms.  If most people consider Trekkies dorkier or weirder or whatever than Star Wars enthusiasts then it simply is the case for that reason alone.  I can't quote any surveys or anything, but i think it's pretty clear that Star Wars is far more mainstream and accepted in popular culture than Star Trek. 

FWIW I much prefer Star Trek.
