These septics and the "English" they use really do piss me off.
Their inability to pronounce "aluminium" properly does my head in.

In 1808, Humphry Davy originally proposed the name alumium while trying to isolate the new metal electrolytically from the mineral alumina. In 1812 he changed the name to aluminum to match its Latin root. The same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review objected to aluminum, and proposed the name aluminium.

"Aluminium, for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound. (Q. Review VIII. 72, 1812)"

-- Wikipedia

So it was called Aluminum, but some guy insisted on calling it something different because he thought it sounded better.

Thanks for that, expat.
I'll be a little more tolerant with them in future.
Any reason for their inability to pronounce "Caribbean"?
