  • ...Wow. Ok since you didn't get it the first time, let me rephrase it for you. Aluminum is the american spelling, and the way they said it in the video is correct. Aluminium is the british spelling and it is pronounced "al-you-min-ee-um." No version of aluminum is pronounced "al-you-min-yum" as you attempted to point out.

    It's ok. You're a bit slow, but we all forgive you.

  • Wrong. Your British pronounciation is "al-you-min-ee-um" because in the King's English it's spelled "Aluminium." Look it up next time before you make yourself look retarded.
