Re: BBC Interview with Tolkien Resurfaces: As always I'm having great difficulty understanding him at times. Being a born mumbler and slurrer myself is not as helpful as one might think. Was that simply his accent, or did he indeed have some sort of speech impediment? He sometimes seems to skip certain sounds and certains and certain combinations of letter entirely, or mumble through them. (Just tidying up a duplicate thread - Ataahua.)
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak. Ataahua's stories
