OMG WHAT TO I WIN?

See I thought all Americans just said Aluminium wrong? I think both terms are correct, depending on what part of the world you are, but yeah. It's not written in the American format SO.

I've never used the term Aluminum AND I DON'T PLAN TO EVER. :D

THANKS!

You're right that both terms are correct. The American Chem Society uses "aluminum" but IUPAC (which is really the leading chem science org) adopted "aluminium" in 1990.

[OH GOD BELIEVE ME THE ONLY REASON I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE I AM IN ORGANIC CHEM. Yeah, I'm a loser.]

Anyway, you win...hmm, what would you like? I can make pathetic drawrings or write you a drabble.
