vincent Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I agree. We English know how it should be said.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium The official IUPAC spelling of the element is aluminium; however, Americans and Canadians generally spell and pronounce it aluminum. Charles Martin Hall, who patented the electrolytic process, misspelled its name on an advertising flyer; due to the explosive popularity of the metal after he developed a more efficient process, most Americans adopted the new spelling. This change was accepted in America, but questioned in Britain because it did not conform to the -ium suffix precedent set by potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and strontium, other newly discovered elements of the period. Thus, the aluminium spelling became the most common in Britain. The United States continued to use aluminum although the official name used in both the United States and Britain in the field of chemistry remained aluminium. In 1926 the American Chemical Society decided officially to use aluminum in its publications. In 1990 the IUPAC adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element. Aluminium is also the name used in French, Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish; Italian uses alluminio, Portuguese alum?nio and Spanish aluminio. (The use of these words in these other languages is one of the reasons IUPAC chose aluminium over aluminum.) In 1993, IUPAC recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant, but still prefers the use of aluminium. Another theory on the difference in the spelling of the word is that the first shipment of aluminium to go to the US came from the UK, but the clerk spelled it ?aluminum? on the manifest, and that spelling has stuck ever since. 584910613[/snapback] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/243424-this-is-a-reteaser/page/3/#findComment-584910774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

artis` Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Sorry, not my taste. Don't like all those white themes - they are just too bright for me - eyes get tired by the end of the day. <offtopic> Anyway, I'm looking forward for the public release of Reluna you have over there.. Bant, can we expect this to happen in nearest future? I still think Reluna is the best VS ever made - thank you. </offtopic> Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/243424-this-is-a-reteaser/page/3/#findComment-584912528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 hi bant. :) 1) longhorn themes do suck. i can't stand the hype and those ugly caption buttons 2) i always loved your work and this looks promising 3) spiderman 2 was really a horrible movie. i'm just honest and this is my 2cents. i don't count on any other opinions. this is mine.
