Shame on those lazy little buggers! So funny! I used to have a mental list of the multisyllable words Alex pronounced in hilarious ways, but they don't happen anymore and it makes me sad.

I am always struck by how terrible it would be if I could never use English again in public. I came close to that in my life once, and I remember when a friend called us from the U.S. and my husband talked to him for about ten minutes and then hung up and said, "He said to say 'hi' to you!" I sobbed, because I had wanted to speak English so bad to someone besides my tiny immediate family. I have never been fond of the language-ban. You did make me laugh though.

It's great to hear that I made you laugh :) I'm really glad that my little idea works. Also, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about a language ban. While I think Thingol had his reasons, forcing someone into not using their native language is very cruel. It's like forcing someone into forgetting who they are. Very sad. Thank you for reading and leaving a review!

Hah! I joked just a few days ago (while talking about the difficulties in spelling Quenya properly once the /th/ sound for the thúle Tengwa fell out of use, but the spelling remained as it was) that everyone was secretly relieved when Thingol issued his ban. Clearly, this includes Sindarin school kids who no longer have to bother with "cojungation"!
