I've just done some research on Jerusalem, and I've read Kidron Valley as Cirdan Valley. After thinking "what the hell?" and rereading the name a few times I've realised how bad I am at reading.

Imagine a person named Denny Stuart Gordon! Those are all real names, just put into the right combination!

My friend was talking to me on the phone one day and the connection was terrible. She said something about antennas, and I thought she said ann-thenath. That was pretty akward.

That's very nice for starters, but wait till you start misreading Cirdan as Glirdan (as happened to me with the thread title 'Cirdan's appearance'

)! Though stuff like this should more properly go into the 'You know you're addicted to Tolkien/the Barrow-Downs when...' threads.

It gets quite annoying, though, when you start writing Beleriand instead of Beryllium on science tests and Indis instead of indice (means "clue") in French tests.
