  • @dave2041 " When he first isolated the element in 1808, he called it 'alumium'. For some reason he thought better of that and changed it to 'aluminum' four years later. Americans dutifully adopted the new term, but many British users disliked 'aluminum' pointing out that it disrupted the -ium pattern established by sodium, calcium, and strontium, so they added a vowel and a syllable." -From Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'
