Dear Illarionites,

The designation of our races is not uniform. Here are the current statistics:

Elves
Website: 74 hits in 30 files
Scripts: 79 hits in 40 files
Books: 62 hits in 27 files

Elfs
Website: 3 hits in 3 files (one hit even for Elfes)
Scripts: 3 hits in 2 files
Books: 0 hits in 0 files

Dwarves
Website: 41 hits in 11 files
Scripts: 96 hits in 42 files
Books: 35 hits in 16 files

Dwarfs
Website: 37 hits in 18 files
Scripts: 7 hits in 5 files
Books: 6 hits in 6 files

As uniform race names in official game content are mandatory, we have to chose one style and stick to it. Please check the style you prefer most!

Not what was intended... I'll remove

Elves and Dwarrows

Same as my other post. I really don't care. I know what you mean. That's all that is important. Many different cultures, and languages used here. If I know what you mean, that is good enough for me. Spelling is not important.

The correct term with regards to the fantasy race of stout bearded beings is Dwarves as the plural and Dwarf as the singular .Dwarfs/Dwarf refers to a diminutive size of actual living beings /plants etc due to a disorder or selective breeding or environmental causes.

We'll use one consistent way of spelling. The poll resulted in "Elves and Dwarves" being preferred. See http://illarion.org/mantis/view.php?id=10905
