Oh I agree with you. It’s the rest of the world that doesn’t seem to. And I kind of agree with them too. Let me 'splain.
I think the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road. If you look at the origins of this you will find that they are actually driving on the correct side of the road and due to the evolution of the subject it is the rest of the world that messed it up. But… It’s the rest of the whole friggin world. I mean it’s just a handful of countries that drive on the left. Get your shit together people. So by that logic… aluminium.
Actually I believe it was pronounce alum first. It’s changed more than once. Anyway, the discoverer gets to name it.
The discoverer named it aluminum
Yeah, that’s my point. The world blames America for getting it wrong but it was really the discoverer that messed it up.
I mean… They didn’t really mess it up, Argentum, Molybdenum, Lanthanum, Aurum, Stannum
It’s a pretty standard latin element naming, just not AS common as -ium.
