The first comma makes it sound like he thought you were talking about THREE different languages:

And in fact, if one had no idea, one could get that impression from your post:

Klingon, Tolkien, Sindarin and Quenya.

I certainly wouldn't have pegged Sindarin and Quenya as two Elvish languages from Tolkien's universe, so I can kind of see where he's coming from.

I see your point. Hmmmm. I think that I had better not start studying any new languages until I get better at English.

For the record then, I had meant that just as there are Star Trek fans who learn to speak Klingon, there are Tolkien fans who learn to speak the two different Elvish languages. These two Elvish languages are called Sindarin and Quenya.

Did I get the commas straight that time? Whew! At least I didn't throw in a few semicolons!
