The Extension of the Word 'Allahu Akbar' in the Takbirs of Eid

Question

Is it true that it is wrong to prolong the word 'Akbar' in the Takbirs of Eid, something we have been accustomed to since childhood?

I say, and with God's success: There is no elongation in the word 'Akbar', and this is a clear mistake, and God knows best.
