A project ~~~~Revising the Fall of Gondolin

Good work, jallanite, very thorough. One minor point: I don't think we should change Orcs to Orks. Despite Tolkien's later idea about the spelling, it is spelled with a 'c' throughout LotR (and in its one or two appearances in the Hobbit) - I think this is grounds for disregarding the later change, even if it is more trivial than, say, the Galadriel/Celeborn business.
