Heh.  I say go for it!  There's nothing wrong wtih sneaking your language
into other peoples' lives.  They deserve it for not rushing out to learn
it!

In fact, in my office someone frequently puts up quotes from Blake on the
chalk board -- I always translate them into Hatasoe and write the
translation beneath.  For a while my office mates thought it was Thai
(someone in our office is doing a research project on second language
acquisitions relating to Thai -- she's fascinated with my language, btw)
but I disabused them of the notion and let them know about my hobby.  They
all think it's very cool.
