Article on Elvish, etc.

Hi guys,

Check out the following article from one of our local weekly
papers, the Los Angeles "New Times".  It discusses Tolkein's
Elvish and Elvish scholarship within the context of the upcoming
"Lord of the Rings" movies, and also touches on Klingon,
Chickasaw, conlanging in Hollywood, and the problem of endangered
languages.  Marcus Smith and myself were interviewed
(unfortunately they got my name wrong, Mark instead of Matt, but
oh well...).

For those of you who are not in the LA area (viz. 99% of you),
the web address for the article is:

Cheers,
Matt.
