Frodo was wrathful and drew himself up to his full height when speaking to Gollum. I see no reason why he wouldn't have used those words. Frodo spoke rather different from other hobbits, I think you'll find, and with the Ring, yes, easily, D.
It may not have been speaking 'through' the Ring that made Frodo speak that way. The Ring may have lent Frodo some of it's power, or at least made him more powerful, so to speak; Frodo joined with the diction I'm sure the Ring would have used itself in such a situation.

In reply to Rk's post about Gurthang's talking being no more than a myth; I believe it did talk. Before it slew Beleg it's blade was silver like any other sword; after slaying Beleg, it's blade turned black in mourning (there is no doubt as to that). So it had a will and mind of it's own.
