If you read HP you can see a few parrallels to LOTR but I realy could care less weather or not she was inspired by Tolkien.
No matter rain or shine, J.K. Rowling was inspired by Tolkien. Or perhaps she was inspired by Tolkien because it was raining. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Ummmm, please remember that the topic of this thread is not misspellings of all kinds, including chat mistakes, but forum typos that make some sort of sense, though not that which was originally intended!

Kates Frodo Temp 07-10-2003 07:28 AM

Yeah, sorry 'bout that!

Isn't it obvious that a sow and a hen are forever in a school where there is no oneness? At least that's how I read it...

See? That one has a few words where they meant other ones to be...

Kates Frodo Temp 07-10-2003 02:36 PM

I would like to *steel* his lens so he couldn't see anything anymore
(refering to the Eye of Sauron)

If there's electricity going through his Eye, then why not *pout* a great load of water on it

How ammuzing
That's what I thought! Sort of.

Yikes! I'm all alone out here! Anyway:

It's obvious what this person meant, but I couldn't resist. I'm a Lewis Carrol fan!

A mixture of "bar" and "gin" hehe. I really cracked up!

Can anybody tell me how you guys figure out Sindarin or Noldorin tongue? men, God knows i'm working hard on my German, but i'll take the last Silmaril from Earendil if you teach me some. As for the typos, well, you guys are good enough to spot those cause some readers won't take a second look if they read something strange about the words used. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar 07-22-2003 11:32 AM

Sorry, but chatspeak is not really what we're looking for on this thread. I repeat:
Quote:

New forum members frequently use chatspeak when they first post and then realize that we are more careful with our spelling, capitals and grammar here.

Finwe 07-22-2003 05:32 PM

I'm not sure whether this counts as a typo, but it was far too hilarious to ignore.

You're probably seeing aroused Huorns in my opinion.
Now just how *cough cough* AROUSED *cough cough* are these Huorns? And why in all of Middle-earth, and in the name of Manwë's sapphire-blue boxers, would you be close enough to tell whether a Huorn is aroused or not? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sorry, Estelyn. I just couldn't pass up the chance.

You don't have to be close to tell. Huorns are always Huorny.
