    If I were a Brit I would definitely make it a point to bust out my worst American accent and call it Alumin(no i)um whenever possible.

    The spelling and pronunciation that brits hate was made by a brit. guy couldn't seem to remember what he named the metal and kept calling it slightly different things while his peers wanted it to have the same word ending as other elements.
