Makes sense. In English the word pub comes from "Public House" and essentially came to be as medieval housewives sold their excess homebrewed ale. Make it a proper business and add wine and cider and such to the menu, and you met what was the definition of a tavern back then. (Add places to sleep and a bigger emphasis on food and you got an Inn)

@@WalesTheTrueBritons so I should be saying I don’t like it instead of that I do like it? FYI I get the same vibe when listening to Norwegian or Danish since the Swedish language is fairly similar to theirs and vice versa. The only reason I find Welsh to be notable enough to mention is because I in fact can not understand what it says. Their pronunciations are similar enough to make me believe I’m listening to Swedish or otherwise which I find to be kinda neat but it does throw my head for a loop the moment I try to understand what’s being said because although it sounds so similar it’s not a language I understand. My comment was not designed to shame children into not speaking it, it was designed to highlight the fact that it throws my head in a loop, quite extremely so while also keeping a mild humorous tone with rather clear exaggerations though I suppose everyone has different type of humour and tone is quite hard to transfer over text but I shall not apologize because as far as I’m concerned I did nothing wrong. Additionally I truly don’t care what an author has to say about a language. Far as I’m concerned it adds nothing to your argument outside of being a cool little fact on the side which I admittedly enjoy. If you have any more Tolkien facts then please, indulge me.
