All the same I suppose you should be thanked by those who took offense to my topic, as you have successfully turned this into what I suppose is a perfectly valid discussion, rather than my attempt, which was more of a rude jab at posters. So, disregard my cynicism, and carry on, and all that jazz.

Well lya know Im always trying to help out. thanks for the compliment.
So as of now: 3 Harfoots 0 Harfeet There is argument for HArfeet because dont you get to decide how you end your last name. I mena if they want to be called Harfeet then shouldnt that be your name. Im still for HArfoots but I am just trying to open the discussion for it.

Yeah when they've come of age maybe they can legally change their name.

(just for the sake of keeping this going I wil take the HArfeet side) But why should they have too. If they call themselves Harfeet when talking about several of themselves then isnt that their name and shouldn t Bilbo have respected the prouddfeet as well. I mean who is he to say that they are pronouncing their own name incorrectly.

Maybe but it's interesting that only themselves thought of themas harfeet or proudfeet. Maybe it was what they called themselves.

yeah on one hand they called themselves whatever they want and peole hould repect that but on the other hand we have simple rules of grammar which tell us otherwise. SO its a hard choice.

Maybe worth considering but the answer is Harfoots. That was their name they could have called themselves something different but it didn't change their anme.

However just because the language dictates that doesnt mean that was not their name. I mean if they want to be called Harfeet then isnt that their name. I mean I dont think they had brith certificates did they. So what their deesire is should be their name.
BoP dont eat you head off. Please?

There was a mayor whos main job was to show up at banquets and stuff. there were police but they mainly policed out siders and there were post men. That was it cept for the great took and the thain. So there wouldnt have been birth certificates and the HArfeet can be called whatever they desire and that is their name.
