Did you know that elfs and elves are 2 distinct mythical species ?

Elfs live in houses, work in houses, everything indoors. They are a bit childish and would probably freeze to death in the wild.
Elves live in nature settings, especially woodlands. They are noble and wise, and very good archers (No, Robin Hood was human, not elven).

    While in Edmund Spenser's masterpiece, an Elf is simply an inhabitant of Faerie lond, such as the "Elfin knight" Sir Redcrosse.

    The English language is remarkably rich, although one couldn't tell by most popular media.
