If I see one more "OK" in an LOTR fic, I swear I'm going to RIP SOMEBODY'S GUTS OUT!

You've Been Warned.

We all read one too many stories with "loose" for "lose" and "lay" for "lie" and proceed to strip-mine the nearest archive for Horrible Examples and become depressed and scream for a while. "OK" or "Okay" in distinctly non-20th-century contexts is more insidious and even more annoying because it has a meaning. It's not just mechanical like bad spelling.

*cries*

Am looking forward to other examples of anachronisms in hobbit fic. I avoid writing anything that suggests modern psychological jargon, as well as 20th-century technology.
