Tolkein hated any change in wording. But it is not a good enough reason for YOU to hate it. You are inderviduals, dont say that "lets hunt some orc" is bad because its changed from in the book, i think thats petty. Tolkein had a lot of ideas that i dont agree with, formost of which being his greatly ott religous beliefs (i dont want to spark a religion riot here, i get enough of amoungst my mum's catholic friends). I think that, within reason, you can have your own veiws on what happened in the stories, providing you dont insist that your veiws are correct as opposed to the veiws of others.

Just out of interets Burrahobbit do you apreachate tolkein entirly for the complexity of it, or do you enjoy it for the art and beauty contained in it? Its just that judging by your short, to the point answers it seems that you are more interested in pointing out things that writing descriptions and theories. Maybe you have better things to do. Or maybe i am just only remembering your short answers cause they are the ones that stick in the mind. I dunno just interest (you seem to have been here on this forum more than most of the others users, especially in terms of active users)
