No no no, there is no “Elvish”, its **Quenya** or **Sindarin** , Hobbits speak **Oestron**

Ignorance fought!

So: do you spell _umlaut_ like _ümlaüt_ in **Quenya** or **Sindarin** or **Oestron**?

:D.

Just joking, about the ümlaüt thing, (and ultrafilter got me on the It’s thing).

I should have known better than trying my “nitpick” trick on dopers, it works in real life tough, i once convinced a friend of mine that “Believe” was correctly spelled “Belyeve” by nitpicking small mistakes he made and then “nitpicking” when he wrote it correctly :D.
