absynthe–minded:

dear John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

dhank you for so deeply impacting my linguistic dhoughts that I mispronounce extant Eardhly place names because your consonant clusters and dheir pronunciations have made a more prominent impression dhan actual real-world phonemes, to dhe point where I get very angry when some extant place or new science fiction world ‘forgets’ dhat ‘dh’ does not sound like ‘d’.
