(You don't really tag things "Tolkein", do you...?)

I'm going to assume that I misspelled it when I originally created the tag, and have selected it from the list every time since then.

And, stupidly, Delicious no longer allows for tag renaming...

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think that's absolutely the right thing to assume. (And, yes: stupid not to let you rename it.)

I don't suppose "Tolkein" is actually the most common typo ever, even in percentage terms - but it does sometimes seem like it.
