Legolas has just left Hobbiton.

Quote:
Only someone who has an enormous fear of them, like Gollum or the hobbits, will not dare to speak their proper name. Even the word Mordor has dark connotations, and is not used lightly, at least not in the Shire.
Note that only two people are without an enormous fear of them. A third said the word, but only after the Witch-King met his doom.

The origion post was misleading.

If that's the case, why does everyone use the term Nazgul so often?
As explained about by Sharku/myself, only Gandalf and Radagast (and Aragorn once) used the term. It was not a term used often - that is a misconception born of Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema.
