When it happened I thought the typeface was the issue rather than the word hobbit. But no.Here’s before and
this is after. I can’t get my head around the fact that the production company sued this tiny sandwich shop. It’s so ridiculous!
Really where was it used?
Found it but no it was not. One line in one book from 1895 “The whole earth was overrun with ghosts, boggles … hobbits, hobgoblins."
So still think it’s very unlikely it was a word that anyone knew before the Hobbit.
Hobbit was a word way before J.R.R. wrote his books, stupid that they were able to sue them
