I know. I was just splitting hairs. But who knows? He broke a lot of other traditions, why not that?

Not that it matters, he probably never had time to shave anyway...
I think when all's said and done, Tolkien wanted to write a story for people to enjoy. As he said in his forward. The deeper meanings are not what are important. This is The Barrow Downs, a Tolkien appreciation site, so I'd say we all here enjoyed reading the books. And that's what counts. *Queue cheesy music and fade out*
