Celuien has just left Hobbiton.
Inspired by the "Lost in Translation" thread

I'm currently rotating through a clinic with a substantial non-English speaking patient population, which means that I'm depending on our language line for translations quite a bit. Fortunately, we have good translators, but if they weren't as skilled, chaos would result. Therefore, I'd like to assign bad translations to Mordor.

Besides, suppose a group of Mordor assignees had to hold a conversation through the mangled translation service...
