On the one hand, a lot of the people I know who have been fans of The Hobbit since childhood had it read to them by their parents and experienced it that way.

On the other hand it takes like five seconds to google this shit. So. Yeah that would really bug me.

I see what you mean but in that case wouldn't people have said they've been fans when they were kids, not since they were kids? If you've been a fan of something for years and years and even participate in fandom activities like writing fic, wouldn't you, over those years, learn how to spell names correctly, at least?

DA - Well, the act of "being a fan" requires nothing more than loving something - you fall for something in your youth, you can say you're still a fan of it years later even if you haven't participated in the fandom. "When" could imply you stopped being a fan at some point, too.

At any rate, it probably has more to do with people not being fabulous spellers and the sticky way your brain can cling to certain wrong spellings.
