"I would think that if anything being less knowledgable they would just say Gollum....perhaps they are just trying to sound smart."-Valier
That's what I meant to say.

THe thought also occured to me that they were following Frodo and calling him Smeagol. Hm, which brings another thought to my mind-would most people who only saw the movie call Gollum 'Smeagol' because that was what was mostly heard (by Frodo calling him that) and do most people who read the book even if they saw the movie call Gollum 'Gollum' because despite Frodo calling Gollum 'Smeagol' the name written most by narration is Gollum.

I state that I haven't counted which name is said/written in movie or book but I hope I wasn't too confusing.
