Wait until you tell them that Ronald Reagan signed the "Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) in 1986, which granted amnesty to nearly three million undocumented immigrants who had been in the U.S. before January 1, 1982."

As I recall, the author used very few contractions, and none I can recall when hobbits were speaking. My copy used single quotation marks for ('speech'), while most books of that era used double marks for ("speech").
BTW, Iove the books, and will likely re-read yet again this winter.

I'm pretty sure I had that printing. I recall reading it at Thanksgiving in '78. My job messed up the weekly payroll timing, so I had no pay that week, and I had 4 days with nothing to do but read LoTR.

Could you ask your mom for the URL? 😉
