Don't want to discourage you Lav (good to see you BTW! [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but it could prove difficult. The syntax of the phrase you want is kind of difficult, not something anyone could translate into Quenya or Sindarin (Tolkien's elven languages) - especially as there isn't a complete vocabulary for the languages so there may not even *be* a translation. A lot of the "Tolkien elven" stuff people come up with using an online dictionary is flawed at the least and discredits the enormous work Tolkien put into the languages. We shouldn't forget he was a professor, an expert at languages with probably a lot better grasp of syntax, sentence structure, case endings and things like that than we have.

What you *could* do, of course, is simply write "to prove you wrong" in elven script, but not actually in the Elvish language. [img]smile.gif[/img]
To do that, you could try and find a Tolkien font that allows you to type in elvish script. If you want, there's another option, too - I practise calligraphy and own a copy of "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle Earth" which has detailed info on this stuff. If you'd like I could write down the phrase you want in Elven script and scan it.

Hope that helps.
