Lets look at the evidence: Gandalf is a Maia, recognised as being one of the wises beings on ME. Legolas was a young elf with only 5 facial expressions and a vocabulary of "ORC!" who was contradicted by the script on the ring. Who would you believe?

*Ahem* Sorry. The RUNES on the helmet and the SCRIPT on the ring... oh, wait. I just said it. LePetitChoux said it also. Gandalf distinctly stated that it was an ancient mode of Elvish; I'm guessing a more ancient Tengwar script (the two look similar). The symbol used on the helms of the Uruk-hai was likely Angerthas, which, Dwarfish or Daeron, is clearly defined as a runic system in Appendix E of RotK. As it has been proved many times before in different discussions, it's in the wording.
