The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990, but three years later recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant. Hence their periodic table includes both, but places aluminium first[13]. IUPAC officially prefers the use of aluminium in its internal publications, although several IUPAC publications use the spelling aluminum.[14]

What do you recommend "i presumed via american video clips, music, books, television shows, and different medias, their English might develop. yet i assume i grew to become into incorrect...". You responded your guy or woman question. using fact they're AMERICAN video clips. not English. Britain is the place English comes from, so i think of we would be responsive to the thank you to pronounce aluminium. Get your data suitable in the previous you offend an entire united states, jerk.

Well, in America you are correct. American English is one of the dominant forms of English and can't be re-rooted so easily, but we have something else to worry about. All this Multi-ethinicities crap has made for odd and unwelcome words to make it into the language, we ought to root those out.

Either way you say it, it's going to be one of those strange words that most people find it hard to pronounce. I know which ever way I say it, it just don't come out of the mouth the way I thought I said it in my head.

HAHAHA
You'll never be able to COMPLETELY change it "back."
I was born in Cali so saying "al-you-mini-um" sounds a tad strange to me :P
