Hmmm, im swedish so it dosent really matter to me. But something that really bugs me is that many people in sweden thinks that elf means pixie since the swedish word for pixie sounds much more like the english elf than the swedsih elf does. <P>English Swedish<P>Elf = Alv (Alv)<BR>Pixie = Elva (Älva)<P>Now you might think that the swedish word for elf is an ugly word not worthy such a beatiful being. But it sounds better in swedsih trust me.
