[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 913377, member: 960"] The former--now that krunchyfrogg has made that cool icon, I'll have to start using it to protect grammar everywhere. I have been trying to exorcise the Grammar Nazi from me (it came from a speech coach in college), but to no avail. It's been 17 years and I still am bothered by "poor" grammar. Not that I'm perfect or anything (no one is), but ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. :D But seriously, sorry if it bothered you. The thought of JRRT "appearing" on 'Crossing Over' just popped into my head when I read that. The only way to get the words out of my head is to write them down. Now, to get back on topic... I know little of JRRT... but what little I know indicates (to me) that JRRT would have held his interest in Beowulf all his life. I mean, he's not the kind of guy to flit from one interest to another like someone with ADHD. At least, it seems that way to me. [/QUOTE]
