I believe else if, elsif and elif should all be legal and interchangeable. Choice is good (TM).
It should be up to the project manager / team to agree on (preferably formatting software based rules) code conventions for a source base.
No one in their sound mind would use these words as identifiers, so no loss there, and the parsing cost / complexity increase is negligable.
