Nasty, vile stuff it is, yess preciouss... Seriously, if that were the case, then oughtn't we to use British spelling throughout Books, seeing how Tolkien was British? Or New Zealander spelling for anything to do with PJ? If Sleepy Ranger spells the words as "offence" and "defence", then that's fine with me. We know what he's saying. And less of that American spelling contagion.

British spelling is so quaint, archaic, and quirky...
How do you guys keep from oohing and aahing at the cuteness of...oh..."advertise" instead of "advertize"? EDIT: archaic added for Sleepy's especial benefit.

How about an Arda Rugby Tournament?? Rugby after all is a man's game without protective padding most notably. Also as Tolkien grew up under a British influence to say the least, Rugby it should be. Right, there could be all the teams that you have mentioned Sleepy Ranger, playing in pools.
However how about inter-race teams, so there are more specially assigned positions?? Or an alternative... This years Arda World Select Barbarians Team: Props: Durin the Deathless and Gimli Hooker: Thorin Oakenshield Locks (Second Row): Moria Cave Troll and Treebeard Flankers: Beorn and Azog No. 8: Tulkas Scrum Half: Frodo Baggins Fly- Half: Fëanor Inside Centre: Turin Turumbar Outside Centre: Morgoth Left Wing: Legolas Right Wing: Elrond Fullback: Sauron Skipper (Captain): Fëanor Coach: Gandalf Assistant Coach: Tom Bombadil Home Ground for this year: Minas Tirith Alternative due to adverse weather conditions: The Withered Heath playing fields Sponsors: The Barad-dûr Trust and the Icebay of Forochel Now we can make up other teams for these lot to play using known people from the books and write legendary match reports!! |
