Hm. I noticed that mistake in a topic awhile ago. I didn't really pay attention to it, though; I thought it was just a spelling error. I guess it was too common for that after all. Of course I wouldn't really know; I haven't read very many Scouring of the Shire topics lately.Hey, it's nothing to worry about, though. We all make those kind of mistakes. I always read things incorrectly and realize about 200 pages later. For example, in the song A Elbereth Gilthoniel, I used to think it was A Elebereth Githoniel. I still say it that way. And instead of 'Meriadoc,' I see 'Merriodic.'Even worse is my pronounciation. It's rather embarrassing to read aloud because I'm constantly being corrected. (Oh, and don't worry, Meneltarmacil. I used to pronounce Legolas that way, too.)
