I like how he never chose to make a hobbit the ringbearer... but just had to go on from where he left the ring itself at the end of the hobbit (with bilbo).
-
who saying J.J.R Tolkien he cant spell he is th greatest morden english writer i had but with respect i say you clueless and retarded
-
1:38 "I actually wept at the denoumont" - I still do that every time I read it!
-

-
@nicholsml dude how can I not have some mistake's if this language is not my language . and you are joust being stupid with whole ignorant thing becouse I can say that you are ignorant over my language becouse you dont know it , then I can say that you are actually the ignorant personin this conversation .
-
@TheVikiLaki I don't care if your language is harder, I really don't. I was just pointing out your ignorance of the English language since you had brought up ignorance. You're actually the ignorant person in this conversation. How ironic, poetic justice perhaps?
-
@nicholsml you know , there are other languages , and by the way my language is 10 times harder then yours
-
@nicholsml I am an idiot ?? learn croatian then tell me I am idiot .
-
@TheVikiLaki You misspelled "becouse", "enithing", "plz", and "prouve".
...yet you think I'm the ignorant one? You sir, are a FUCKING IDIOT.
Also I have read those books, you just implied that I haven't because I disagreed with you, which is childish.
Grow the fuck up!

Judging by other comments Tolkien made, I think the 'Jew' reference is about the Dwarves lacking a homeland and so being a kind of diaspora and a culture within a culture. Also their language inspired by Yiddish. The Dwarves love of gold comes directly from the Norse stories, so I don't think Tolkien was necessarily playing up the old stereotype.

Stop Criticizing his speech. I dare say his knowledge of launguege far surpasses your own. He was a linguist for fucks sake.
Plus he is ENGLISH.
Thats the way they talk. Deal with it.
