Seems Familar...
This reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
King: Old Woman! Peasant: Man! King: Sorry, Old Man! Peasant: I am 37. King: What? Peasent: I am 37. I am not old. King: Well I can't just call you Man. And they go on about not asking the peasent his name and blah blah blah.... Anyway maybe the Nazgul did know Arwen's name so he called her elf but he couldn't just call her elf so he called her she-elf not knowing proper manners.

On the subject of terms used by novice Fanfiction writers, where in all of Middle-earth did the term 'hobbitling' come from? I have seen it a few times in various places and it refers to young hobbits. I can see ther might be a need for a hobbit equivalent of boy or girl, but hobbitling? Sounds like piglet or gosling.
