I love Tolkiens language, its why I enjoy reading LOTR over and over. I also noticed that some of his sentences are very long and he uses 'and' an lot.
Lol one girl I know said to me once that she tried to read lotr but it was written in Old English [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]! So I pulled out my copy of Beowulf and showed her what Old English really was.
I came across the coolest word in Tolkiens letters: "Verisimilitude" (sp?) - something which has the appearance of being real. He used it say something about how he tried to make the books seem more historic than fantastical.
