This may be done allredy, but I think a tread about orcs and goblins and there relation would get a lot of confution out of entmoot!

P.S. Goblins and orcs are not the same thing!

Orc (of Orch) is the representation of the Sindarin word used for them, commonly used throughout Eriador, and goblin is the representation of the Westron (or maybe hobbit) word used for them. They hobbits call big orcs "Hob-Goblins".

Read the front of the hobbit, it will tell you that they are the same things.
