Upon hearing that there was complaint about his use of dwarves as a plural, instead of the more usual dwarfs, Tolkien countered that the Germanic plural would more properly be dwarrows, which he regretted not using.
Aragorn was called Trotter, not Strider, in the first draft. Revolting. Makes me think of pigs.

Thanks for dropping in on my blog and commenting there.
BTW - When you comment on neo-neocon, your name links to your former site; not to this one.
