That was a hard one! (I'm not entirely sure it was fair!

)

Popping in the most commonly-used letter in the English language: E

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 09-24-2012, 01:35 PM

That's the one, Guinevere. It can't have been too hard, but I'll accept that perhaps Sindarin quotations aren't quite fair. It's been a while since I was in here.

As a matter of etiquette, we really should refrain from requesting letters until a quote's been put up. At least I feel so.

I see your viewpoint, but I'm not a very patient individual. I'm sorry if this annoys you, and I'll attempt to refrain from doing so. However, my computer time has gotten more limited recently, so I try to enjoy the time I have on here since I can't check back very frequently.

The capital E's and the ë 's were very helpful. (Btw, the quote was in Quenia, not Sindarin!

)

Well, here is the next one (in English). I hope it's not too short!

How about I? Slightly lame, but I get the feeling it might be there in some important places...
