Stories From The Hobbit Trail
We can't say for certain, but it's possible that if another author had written Lord of the Rings, the tale might have taken on very a different voice and a very different mood. Jack Kerouac might have said it this way. But what about Lewis Carroll? Or Anne McCaffrey? Would Mickey Spillane have given it that matter-of-fact opening? And, in another time, in another place, when Margaret Mitchell wove the power of love into the horrors of war, could there have been Gone With The Ring? Read these interpretations, and many more, at If "Lord of the Rings" had been written by someone else.

But Some Of Us Really Are "Volumptuous"
Well, it seems that I've been saying diphtheria incorrectly all these years. I was aware that "chester drawers" was wrong (aside from the fact that it sounds like Victoria's biggest secret of all). They missed "vetenarian" in their list, but maybe they didn't see it as being in the top 100 Most Often Mispronounced Words.
