Oh I have run into this many times. I had a friend who whenever I would say the name of a character he would immediately correct my pronunciation, even though I swear I was saying the name correctly. I hated it because he was making me look like an idiot, and himself a genius. Some of the names are hard, and most of them are from a made up language! So I thought that he should of at least have given me a break (and besides at the time I was still quite new to the world of Tolkien).
