But that's just the thing, Tolkien would have known the words but most likely not if he went to school in modern times. One of the amazing things about Tolkien is that he knew so many languages and he learned many of them before he was even 30. In today's world that would have been much harder therefore he would probably would have had an issue in creating Elvish. You are right about how we are hasty in current times. Truthfully I think that Tolkien owes much of his success and writing skill to the time he lived within.

Morth, that is true about the publishing companies. I mean looking at it as if he were setting the same new mile stones in writing fantasy only in modern times rather than when he really did. I doubt he would have been able to in modern times.
