Feb-you-erry. Drives me nuts.

On aluminum vs. aluminium: The M-W online says it's from "alumina" -- not sure how the "i" crept into the root for you Brits, but you're not alone.

Spanish: aluminio
French: aluminium
German: Aluminium
Russian: aluminum
Afrikaans: aluminium
Danish: aluminium
Dutch: aluminium
Modern Greek: alouminio
Italian: alluminio
Japanese: aruminiumu

Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?

Still, words do change and mutate, and why should someone be so upset that Americans pronounce things differently than the Brits? 'Slife.

O..O
