lord of the rings, sucks
- never liked the lord of the rings.
- all the nerds love it, i tried, but just no see how it's good.
- the novel stories, r not good. the movies, r not good. to me.
- while, i very much like the game of thrones.
- in fact, the lord of the rings, some of the characters offends me. the silly hobbit race, the ugly that creature who got the ring, the idiotic good wizard vs bad wizard, the idiotic simplistic beautiful elvs vs ugly orcs. the idiotic eye of the evil.

- last line.
- no time now
- instead of
- don't have time now
- or
- do not have time now.
- another pesky issue is the apostrophe
- some famous writers, ban it
Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Australia, Austria

English orthography. Is there a good reason, to spell Ukraine with the e at the end?
