Guys, totally not the place for Tolklang infighting.

Facts:

1. JRRT's langs were not in a complete - or, really, very usable -
form at the time of his death.

2.  Other people have since invested great effort to create usable
languages based on them.

We can probably all agree that #1 is a damn shame.  Whether you're for
or against #2 is pretty much irrelevant.  If you would like to study
the results of the efforts by Helge and Salo et al, great!  Have fun!
Discussion of those languages' grammar, translations into and out of
them, etc. is of course wholly appropriate fodder for this mailing
list.

If you have no interest  in those languages - whether due to general
apathy toward Tolklangs or active antipathy reserved for the
non-canonical heretical ones - that's fine, too. Just ignore any such
messages.

Either way I see no need to debate it in this forum.
