I do that a lot! I had a science exam and I think the question was something to do with making wine and fermenting etc. I was supposed to write the word "wine" and put "brandy" in front of it to make "brandywine"! My science teacher, who has apparently never read lotr, was shocked and thought I was an alcoholic and announced to the rest of the class that I was writing about brandy and wine. when i explained what had happened, he let me redo the answer and told me I had Tolkien fever! So when i saw the title of this thread, I just had to read it!
