The only one that really bothers me is them using the Gregorian calander.
The idea is that it's a translation, so some words are just modern ones used in place of what the 'real' ones are.
Tolkien's books are essentially english/European mythology, so it kind of sort of makes sense
I believe there's a whole section of one of the books devoted to the in world-calendars and their relation to the Gregorian one.
I didn't know that, but that's good.
Agreed. It already bothers me that we use it
