1. Learn some basic metallurgy. Aluminium is the base element. Aluminum is the alloy and the first name given to it by its discoverer in 1812.

We don't go around calling stuff Platinium, Molybdenium, or Tantalium.

Get over it...

OK, I’ll give you aluminium, but what about Worcesterchire Sauce? Who do you know that pronounces it Wor-ces-ter-chire? It’s always Wor-schter-shire. Huh? Well? C’mon!!! 4 syllables!
