On the other hand, there was a minor word-change that irritates me: the replacement of Tolkien's consistent beer with D&D/Renfaire-speak ale.
And, please don't come over on me with the post-medieval date of lagering or the fact that traditional British beers are ales or that ale is an Anglo-Saxon word: Tolkien didn't use words by accident and he chose to use beer. That PBJ "knew better" is just one indicator of their tone-deafness overall.
