    Lets all get HOOKED ON PHONICS!

    Ok, first of all, please take into account the fact that I have some minor OCD. Seriously, I do, and it gets set off mostly by misspelling and mispronunciation of words. Almost all of us here on the forums see the word Elixir every day when we log on to clash. Why is it then, that I constantly see people type Elixer. Every time I see that, it makes me feel violently angry for such a tiny little reason. (Imagine being in my brain, and then going on the INTERNET! The mother of improper spelling ad grammar.) Now, I'm posting this here for the time being because most players are on this thread more often than any other. This is technically a feature request, even though it's incredibly selfish and unnecessary. I apologize for this thread, but I just couldn't take it any longer. There are a large number of people with OCD, and I'm sure some of them play Clash of Clans. (They're the ones with no obstacles and perfect symmetry and a new base every two days). I'm not asking you to become an English professor, but you have no idea how much it would help us if you would please spell this one word correctly. PLEASE stop kiIIing us slowly! ELIXIR- not ELIXER. It baffles me why people write Elixer constantly. This means you are fighting your autocorrect every time you do it, and that you don't process the words 'Elixir Storage' and Elixir collector' into your brain. Sorry for being such a brat, but if you have already read this, I'm begging you on behalf of all easily frustrated people out there, spell Elixir correctly. Thank you, and I apologize.
    Please forgive me, but also please do this. It just angered me when I realized I didn't put an apostrophe in Let's in the title.

    I don't get the idea, but I do know supercell can't control people from spelling elixir correctly. Do you want the players to be banned if they spell it wrong? If so I'm pretty sure that that won't happen.

    I totally get you man......I had one friend that constantly spelled it 'elexer', and would argue over why it should be spelled like that..........

    and I do have a perfectly symmetric base btw.

    No, this isnt a message to supercell, just a message to players.
