Were you supplying a photo?

Is there any reason why some names have accents, while others like 'Theoden' and 'palantir' do not?

I could provide a photo of the DVD if necessary but I don't mind if someone else takes it.

The only reason for a lack of accents is that I never notice them. Feel free to add them.

Okay, I've added accents and made a couple of minor changes (an italic here, a link there, a little map to help understand what is where) nothing too drastic, so feel free to have a read through and let me know what you think.

I can take a photo of my Extended Edition DVD if you'd prefer, but I suspect your carpet is more exciting than mine.

Hi Bluebottle. Thanks for working on this. Unfortunately you've got some more work to do - I really should have done a bit more checking of this when I was writing it. The main problem is the mixture of present and past tenses in the "Changes from the Book" section. So here's a list, but it shouldn't take you long to work through.

looks in the palantír --> looks into the palantír

to be used by the Forces of the West --> to be used as a weapon by the Forces of the West

to warn them --> to warn the people there

the forces of Saruman --> the forces of the wizard Saruman

Now they follow Aragorn --> They follow Aragorn

The Hobbits go home --> The hobbits go home

where they confronted Saruman --> where they confront Saruman

The scene in which Ghan-buri-Ghan led the riders of Rohan through the Stonewain Valley was omitted
-->
The scene in which Ghan-buri-Ghan leads the riders of Rohan through the Stonewain Valley is omitted

The dead from the Paths of the Dead came with Aragorn all the way to Minas Tirith and fought in the Battle
-->
The dead from the Paths of the Dead come with Aragorn all the way to Minas Tirith and fight in the Battle

as a woman were left out --> as a woman was left out

the only hint of this was one scene in the Extended Edition -->
the only hint of this is one scene in the Extended Edition -->

the Scouring of the Shire didn't happen -->
the Scouring of the Shire doesn't happen

The hobbits just went back to the Shire and drank a beer -->
The hobbits just go back to the Shire and drink a beer

Sorry about all the changes.

I trimmed them down to the 4x3 shape but I think gmail might have sent the untrimmed versions.
