This one really bothers me too. But is comes from the contraction "should've", which sounds like "should of" when you say it. You'd think people would realize after reading "should have" thousands of times in their life that that's the correct word to use, but no.

but THSM posts like these are what make it worth it :D

Eellexaaar; elxir

You know what's worse OP? People who say they have "OCD" over something little, when OCD is much larger than being bothered by a small detail like spelling a word wrong.

So OP has a totally valid point and i share his pain.

Arabic does have e similar letters

Lol,a friend of mine spell it ilixăr...and I usually spell it elixer

My clan mate was talking smack against people in war (changed the description of the clan)
He said
"Don't bother attacking - you're wasting elixer"
Lucky I corrected him

Because I am a product of the North American educational system.

There are worse spelling mistakes that people make than Elixir. :p

In Arabic it is الاكسير the best way to pronounce it is al-exsir. But mostly I write it as Elixir. Anyway the meaning is the same whatever is the way you write it.
