But how could you press for Dwarvish, since that is a secret tongue, not spoken to strangers.
Good point:
*Gilmi dials Middle Earth Axe Company Tech Support*
TS: For instructions on how to use your axe Press 1. If you need a replacement axe Press2. For service on reparing your axe Press 3.
*Gimli Presses 3*
TS: For common tounge, press 1. For Sindarin: Press2, Quenya: Press3. Black Speech Press:4. Dwarvish: Press 5
*Gimli hesitates and presses 5*
TS: To confirm your dwarvish idenity, please repeat the following phrase in Dwarvish: "I like pink boxers."
Gimli: Phony imposters! *Hangs up phone and fixes the axe himself*

The question I have is...would the 'folks' of Middle Earth preferred to use other means to contact tech support?
