The interesting thing is that while Melkor used his powers to control others by the use of the language, could Sauron have refined this method by somehow using the rings?

One of my further thoughts - which I failed to include - was on the script which is engraved on the One Ring. Obviously script is language, and I was thinking whether in some way Sauron too was attempting to control by the use of language. The script as we know is hidden unless the ring is placed in fire so this could possibly be a case of subliminal messaging. It is not said, or at least I do not know that it says, whether the other rings (I'm thinking of the 7 and the 9) were also inscribed in some way.
