        Well have you ever thought of maybe, just maybe, it’s spelled as Aluminium

      British pronounce it, “Alum-inium.” With an extra I in it. I think because it cheeses off the rest of us.

      The way british people say is “Al-yoo-min-ee-um” Instead of the correct way “ah-loo-min-um”

        Both say it how it’s spelt, it’s just spelt differently in British and American English.

        correct

        they’re different dialects, they’re both correct
