Gorwingel has just left Hobbiton.
Well, it would go like this...
I would say the name of a character, and then he would say "who?” and then I would say the name of the character again, and then he would say, "Oh, you were talking about...".
I don't know, I just found the act of it quite annoying.

But I am not trying to be mean in any way, shape, or form to people who correct people's pronunciation of the names. It is just that I am a person who has read the books multiple times, seen the films multiple times, and I am a member of the prestigious B-D's. So I personally thought that I was unfairly targeted (I believe that his level of knowledge was about equal to the level of mine, it is just that he had grown up in a family of fantasy literature lovers, and so he had grown up with the books, and I had not).
