Tolkien was a philologist - he really loves using old and quaint expressions and use of language (next to making up his own). It's sometimes forgotten, but Tolkien himself was quite a proficient polyglot and linguist in his time. So proficient, in fact, that there's a famous anecdote about the Dutch translation of the Hobbit (the first language any of Tolkien's books were translated into).
The story goes that upon reading that his Dutch editor wanted to change the Dutch name for Hobbits to "Hobbels", he was furious. He understood enough Dutch to know what the implication of this translation was, and wrote to the editor to say that that change was off. If you google for it a bit, you'll find out what was said :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hello everyone:
Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday to the skype session, but somehow the call never came in. I have just completed my first Russian movie: Russian Ark. A real feast, very beautiful and unusual film. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So, we have had status reports from Teango, Tarvos, Aloysius, Fabriciocarrero, Woodsei, Tecktight and myself, which is not bad, that means that we are at least 8-9 who are still in, since at least two more have been active at Skype sessions and in the 6WC. Now the rest of you have the time to the first of June to make the update and say that you are still inn, so there is no stress, but it would be nice to know. Drsarvo, Mrwarper, everyone else - earth to cosmonauts! Report to the mother ship! A big thanks to Tecktight for being the driving force, muse and technical genius behind our Skype sessions. Do you know what this team has that not other team has? We have Tecktight - which makes a lot of difference, since talking to eachother through Skype make us know eachother better. In case any of you have not read it yet, I would also like to point out that Teango has not only got his dream job, but he is also getting married now! Go in his log for more details.
