In year 3019 of the Third Age, Major Tomeoric Everton of the Hobbit Astronaut Society for the Procurement of Intelligent Extraterrestrials (HASPIE) donned his top hat and took to the skies on his rocket-powered hobby horse. Soon thereafter he discovered intelligent life in the heavens. The strange and wondrous creature he discovered, Lhinnthel, spoke a new dialog of the Common tongue which is now beginning to gain popularity in the lands of Middle-Earth ("Lhinnglish"). What follows are some examples of this new language in practice, along with some commentary to further your appreciation and understanding. It is never too late to learn a new language!
[Kinship] Lhinnthel: ANd they rejoice!
The shift key is like the pedal on a piano. It can be difficult to tell how much is enough. Go with whatever feels right.
[Raid] Lhinnthel: doe sit involve hobbits?
Spaces needn't just come between words. They can also fall in the middle of words. This opens up whole new avenues of communication.
[Raid] Lhinnthel: I have given youthe sacred lute of ages Eilye, use it well
Then again, sometime spaces can be omitted entirely. It's completely up to you. Get in touch with your inner spacebar.
[Raid] Lhinnthel: should we skip Fiddler's and ahve one more or do you have time fro two?
Letter inversion is widely regarded as a wonderful to way to keep language fresh and new. Change up their order from time to time!
[Raid] Lhinnthel: sometiems there are more soemtiems less!
Then too, don't feel obligated to spell words the same way every time, even within the same sentence. Such rules are for less progressive languages.
[Raid] Lhinnthel: ha! My rart is safe at home!
You'll occasionally find that the idea you are trying to express cannot be captured with existing language. In these cases, feel free to invent a word on the spot.
[Raid] Lhinnthel: I laughed sso much that I have to runt o chiccago! I'll brn! cued up for next!
Whut?
Hopefully this has served as an adequate introduction to this exciting new linguistic discovery. Don't be discouraged if you cannot master it straight away - practic emakes prefect!
