Default Can someone ID if these are fake Elixir Strings?

I purchased them online from a local online marketplace and it seems weird that the packaging had an spelling error of 'vidit' instead of 'visit' which makes me highly doubt they are authentic.

Sent Elixir an email but have yet to receive a response from them.

Seems like a fake to me. There is a misspelling in the French version of that sentence as well: “cous” should be “vous.” Technically, the space between “d’” and “informations” shouldn’t be there either, but on a package of Elixir strings that I have which I know is authentic, the space is there as well (but “visit” and “vous” are spelled correctly).

I'm staying away from elixir's in Mexico. I was certain a set I bought on amazon.mx were fakes just by their appearance. Very uneven coating. I'd stay away from elixir's in all latin america.
