Mirkwood Goblin Accounts of schizo

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about schizo: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

Goblin children, taught about schizo in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'

The Goblin Verdict on schizo

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on schizo with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
