I was not knowing this FAQ from Tolkien Society. So, I will accept (albeit reluctanly ) the fact elves have pointed ear.

I have learn something today, day's not wasted.

This is a controversial topic and there are differing opinions all over the place. I don't want to derail the thread (too late!) so I'll just say I agree with the Tolkien Society: https://www.tolkiensociety.org/author/faq/#ears

It is precisely because of the letter from Tolkien that is cited that I wonder that this subject is at all controversial. Tolkien stated it; it is so. I could see the topic being debated before the publication of Letters or before the volume became well-known.

Well, there are arguments about whether Tolkien meant that his elves had pointed ears or was just referring to the common perception of elves as having pointed ears. For the contrary viewpoint see here: http://middle-earth.xenite.org/do-tolki ... inty-ears/

It's hard to take that blog seriously when the author gets basic facts wrong--such as when in another entry he states that Tolkien never used the term 'East Elves' ('East-elves'). LotR, Appendix F (bolded for emphasis):

OF THE ELVES
The Elves far back in the Elder Days became divided into two main branches: The West-elves (the Eldar and the East-elves. Of the latter kind were most of the elven-folk of Mirkwood and Lórien; but their languages do not appear in this history, in which all the Elvish names and words are of Eldarin form.

Of course the comments are closed on the blog so Martinez can't be contradicted.
