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

and btw , arabic language doesnt have letter "e" but pronunciations of some letters are the same as e
No, Gunkar. iLickSir. I lick the luxurious elixir, sir.
Dirty minds!
My favorite form of elixer is dark elixr, because its the rarest form of elixar.

Well I disagree tho, the english spelling is elixir so why not spell it like that?
It's so simple to me.
1, In the game (set to English) it's "Elixir".
2, Supercell uses the word "Elixir".
3, If we're using English language (and we do, on the Forums & Facebook) the correct one is Elixir.
I never understood that elixer/elexar/whatever thing either.
Elixier :rolleyes:
Wow...you forgot it should be Ilexear:)Quote:

I don't know... I find it annoying too. Just think about how it could be worse - some people call it mana. :rolleyes:
I just hate to see it as elix. Or purple lix. Or pink lix.
Off topic. I hate to hear wizards call mages
Lol I do this sometimes and call mana elixirQuote:

But really, if you're gonna rant about spelling things wrong, I'm kind of surprised you didn't lose it over "ludicrous" being spelled "ludacris" (which itself is sometimes misspelled "ludachris"). That one frosts my cookie...
Gold jacket, green jacket, who give a...
I feel so disappointed in myself for being oblivious to the fact the I spelled it wrong this entire time......
Reasons to just call it elix.......
Coming from the person that didn't use an apostrophe in the word "can't" for the title and didn't capitalize "I" multiple times.Quote:

This. 10 corrections.Quote:

L 2 ENGLISH!!!
Sorry, I just needed to say that... I'm going to need a warm hot bath right now
Wrong. It is an English word. It originated elsewhere, but so did every other word in the English language:Quote:

You were close on the origin at least:

That one is the most annoying. I honestly struggle to see how people get confused between them... I'll probably end up doing it now that I've said that, knowing my luck. :rolleyes:Quote:

I totally agree with what your feeling! It bothers me to! Than I thought too myself, its Christmas I should let it go. Their are things we should be grateful for...like being able to boost Elixer for only 1 gem.Quote:

That being said, the OP is correct in that it seems no one can spell it correctly.
Don't forget people who confuse "fewer" and "less". Also using words like "literally" wrong, that one rustles my jimmies.Quote:

Balloonion!
B-a-l-l-o-o-n-i-o-n
Not balloonian, there's no 'a' in minion :mad:
You have OCD, but you forgot an apostrophe in the word "can't" in your thread title? :pQuote:

Sooo, it's definitely supposed to be pronounced Elixir not Elixer haha
This doesn't bother me at all tho, when you read it fast they look the same xD
Ale Licks Seer
dem grammar n*z1
I'm lazy(and a terrible speller), Elixir is too hard.
Elixer is more like how you pronouce it as well.
I feel your pain. I've seen it spelled "elixer", "elixar", and "elexer". Drives me crazy.
I think it bothers me more when people spell "Balloonion" as "Balloonian". Balloonion is the combination of the words Balloon and Minion. There is no "a" in Minion! :mad:
This isn't even thread worthy... quit posting stupid threads like this

F.Y.I.
Dear - regarded with deep affection.
Deer - ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae.
Hahaha I didn't even see this! :oQuote:

Arabic does have e similar lettersQuote:

My clan mate was talking smack against people in war (changed the description of the clan)
He said

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
Purple.

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.
