A Linguist Explains the Rules of Summoning Benedict Cumberbatch

But how is a normal internet citizen supposed to know, when they hear someone say “I just can’t stop looking at gifs of Bombadil Rivendell” that this person isn’t talking about some other actor with a name and a voice and cheekbones? Or in other words, what makes for a reasonable variation of the name Bendandsnap Calldispatch?

As someone who did a linguistics course this year - that was awesome. Althought I do find "Bombadil Rivendell" a little suspect in the name department. I'd work it out, but mostly it just makes me think of hobbits XD
