Thats in Merica!It's fucking aluminum.
Nope, that's what it was named. The trade journals decided that it didn't sound classical enough, so they just started publishing it as "aluminium".Thats in Merica!
Nike aren't covering themselves in glory here. Dear me this is shocking.
This brand new England kit is dividing opinion
Fuck that, imagine if they gave us black shorts and red socks!??!
The thing is the England kit is pretty much the same as ours, it's not hard to fuck up. Wasn't a fan of England ditching the navy shorts.It is just a bit shit.

There's nothing wrong with it though. After all, you don't go out to purchase a platinium wedding ring.
He proposed that name among others, then ended up choosing aluminum.It was originally named 'alumium'.
Me too.He proposed that name among others, then ended up choosing aluminum.
Wikipedia told me.

But I work in aluminum and my desk is piled high with samples and trade journals and brochures, engineering manuals, and product specifications.The US spelling is the older, the rest of the world's spelling is more common. 1-1 aet.
BUT THE GUY WHO NAMED IT ALUMINUM WAS BRITISH~!!It's called the English language so will go with 'aluminium'. We do not speak American here.
I think Leicester confuses most Americans the first time they try to read it. You have to admit that it's a strange way to spell a word that is pronounced Lester.And Aluminium, Leicester etc

And the difference in spelling has started to drive me crazy.
Sounds even more like Dahrby when you hear someone from there pronounce it!I think Leicester confuses most Americans the first time they try to read it. You have to admit that it's a strange way to spell a word that is pronounced Lester.
And while we are it, why is derby pronounced Darby?
