    Default Middle-earth Quotes copy-edited submod, for 1.2

    Playing TATW, I was bothered by the misspellings and grammatical awkwardness of the presentation of some of the quotes used for the loading screens. So, I made some quick fixes

    A sample of some of the fixes:

    Eomer -> Éomer
    Theoden -> Théoden
    Pippin -> Peregrin Took
    Smeagol -> Sméagol
    Numenor -> Númenor
    Aragorn, Chieftain of the Dúnedain about the army of the death -> Aragorn, Chieftain of the Dúnedain, speaking of the Army of the Dead
    Wormtongue -> Gríma Wormtongue

    And many more!

    To install: Unzip quotes.txt into mods\Third_Age\data\text and over-write. Simple! Works with any other sub-mod.

    For the next update, I plan to erase all quotes that come from the movie (e.g. Haldir at Helm's Deep) and replace them with quotes from the books.

    Not bad. The quotes file is often overlooked, but is vital to the success of stuff

    You just wasted 4 seconds of your life reading this sentence. You'll read it again because it was so funny and waste another 4. And since you read that sentence, some more disappeared, count this sentence and it's 'nother couple. Good job time waster!

    Simple but nice. In one of the quotes Tom Bombadil is referred to as an "adventurer". You should consider fixing that too.

    I considered changing Tom Bombadil's title too, but then again, Tolkien did publish "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil". So, I suppose he could be an adventurer

    And of course you can publish this in RR/RC, I should have the new quotes up in a few days.
