Don't call him Sauron... why?

**BTW, Gandalf’s refusal to use Black Speech is not just out of politeness – he deliberately doesn’t speak it in Hobbiton, for instance, when he’s alone with Frodo and there’s no question of “politeness.” **

I was going to use that argument, and then I realised - since Frodo won’t understand the black speach, its perfectly sensible to translate it first. I think his explanation suggested it was more than that, but until I find that quote I can’t be sure.

Shade, it’s good that you and QtM made up. Otherwise you might be facing:

Qadgop the Mercotan slithered flatly around the afterbulge of the tranship. One claw dug into the meters-thick armor of pure neutronium, then another. Its terrible xmex-like snout locked on. Its zymolosely polydactile tongue crunched out, crashed down, rasped across. Slurp! Slurp!

**I can’t quite picture the Dark Lord playing “rubba-rubba”. But you never know. **

You know, that’s earned a pretty respectable ranking on my list of Things I Wish I’d Never Read… :eek:
