Maybe its just me, but in the fellowship of the ring, I just thought it was hillarious, that two of the orcs speak english! lol. It just sounds so silly....I just wanna hear that I am not crazy and that that really is funny! lol. You know which two orcs I mean? Well one speaks right before they tip the trees and one approaches saruman in his isenguard tower.

I dont think I am gonna vote, because I wanna see everyone elses opinions. lol

ya that does seem a bit dumb. But i guesse that it would be better that they did speak in english than orc-annise or something of that sort!

well seeing as i don't speak orc-ish

i found it rather nice

I didn't think it was that funny, but just weird. It would have been better if Saruman spoke Orc-ish (or whatever)

It explicitly states in the books that when orcs are dealing with
1. different "tribes" of orcs, OR
2. different species altogether
they speak the common tongue.

When Merry and Pippin were captured by the orcs in the end of Fellowship and the beginning of Two Towers, they found that they could understand much of the orc's speach because there were different tribes present, and they found that for the necessity of understanding the different dialects, they needed to speak the common tongue (depicted in teh movie AND hte books as english).

So no, I didn't find it amusing at all.
