Great posts, Lyta_Underhill, and Aragornreborn. Both of you bring up good points. Tolkien is different, but other fantasy is also different.

Lush, thanks for posting, it gave me a good chuckle. It's true, I know, that many of my arguments are very much emotionally based, but you knew that before, and I don't see anything all that passionate in this thread. Its nice to know that someone is set against me completely in this matter. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But, the last part of your post was bordering on futility. If there is an error in a system, isn't it worth fixing? Doesn't that poor shmuck from academia count for anything? Shouldn't they know that there is a difference? This is a slightly concieted manner of thinking, my friend. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Chuckling,
