The fact that this os might teach Americans how to spell Aluminum correctly is kind of hilarious to me. Or are they going to mispronounce the OS too?

Your condescension and arrogance is amusing. The British discoverer of the metal, Sir Humphrey Davy, named it aluminum, which Americans still use.

I'm also confused by the parent comment because it appears that they spelled it in the American way, whereas the OS seems to use the British spelling. If they think the OS will teach people the correct way, evidently they don't spell it correctly.

The original spelling, which follows the same pseudo-Latin convention other chemical names use is: Alumium

All other spellings are from people adding one or more letters because they think it sounds better.

		Pffft, nonsense, the only way is the French (as in language) way, just call it alu. Why use many syllable when few do trick?
