I was reading in this video game magazine a letter to the editor. Every issue they reveiw games and this time it was a tolkien game. In the reveiw, they called the sword Clamdring instead of Glamdring.
Of course, somone wrote in next issue and called them morons and told em it was glamdring. The editor responded that they contacted tolkein "heirs" and that glamdring was a misprint in the hobbit, the swords real name being Clamdrng.

Can somone tell me if this is true or false, and why they misspelled it the whole book if it is true.
