Talk:Dwarf

Untitled
Hi there - I notice that the article claims "Dwarves" is commonly misspelt as "Dwarfs". This is actually the other way around. The word dwarves did not exist before J.R.R. Tolkien defined it whilst creating his Middle-Earth fantasy series, which kick-started what we now know of the genre. Before this, the plural of dwarf was dwarfs. Since almost everyone writing fantasy today has grown up on Tolkien, it's unsurprising that this spelling has become so common. Cheers, Anon.
