- i'm just curious if everyone thought we'd been typing favourite, and honour, and favour, and aluminium, etc for all this time? -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:00 44
  - Nuklear -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 29, 13:20
  - [deleted] 26
    - I have never spelled Aluminum with the extra i. Andie, do you say 'aluminium foil'? -- nm - Subversive May 29, 13:08 11
      - like, ah' loo MIN ee um? -- nm - TFox May 29, 13:12 2
        
        Yes. The wiki on it has a sound clip of somebody pronouncing it -- nm - con_carne May 29, 13:14
        
        yep, like plutonium, etc. -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:13
      - Same. -- nm - Shaun May 29, 13:12
      - I know of almost no one in Canada that says it, but if you follow the element naming conventions, it's how we *should* say it. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 13:10 3
        
        devil's advocate, but platinum, molybdenum... -- nm - Roger More May 29, 13:12 2
        
        took the words right out of my keyboard. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 13:12 1
        
        what is different is that according to wiki, aluminium was used in the US for about 70 years, before the name changed to aluminum - Roger More May 29, 13:18
      - i did when i was a kid, because my mother did, but i don't any more - it sounds pretentious, but i DO spell it that way. -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:10 2
        
        Interesting. -- nm - Subversive May 29, 13:12 1
        
        british grandparents, i guess that's why? -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:14
    - "of language"? (nm) - musubi May 29, 13:06
    - I think the spelling changed to aluminum to reflect American pronunciation -- nm - Roger More May 29, 13:06 1
      - oh, apparently not. But Aluminum is American (and Canadian) and Aluminium is British (and also Australian) - Roger More May 29, 13:07
    - what the heck is aluminium? -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 13:05 6
      - the actual element: -- (link) - Andie May 29, 13:07 4
        
        "The Canadian Oxford Dictionary prefers aluminum" -- (link) - JaxSean May 29, 13:08 1
        
        what does it know? -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:10
        
        I. Did. Not. Know this. -- nm - con_carne May 29, 13:08
        
        unless you're in America. :) -- (link) - loosiflu May 29, 13:08
      - it's a Star Trek invention. -- nm - Max May 29, 13:06
    - it is not. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 13:05
    - i thought you guys had 'aluminum foil.' -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:04 2
      - I still say "tin foil" from time to time. - Reagen May 29, 13:12
      - Correct. -- nm - con_carne May 29, 13:05
  - [deleted] 3
    - it IS pretty funny. -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:03 1
      - I'm sure we've mocked Canadian spellings many times before. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 13:06
    - Personally, I blame Daniel Webster. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 13:03
  - Of course you are, and we are okay with it. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 13:02
  - Like I said to Subby, not all of us are surprised. - musubi May 29, 13:02 4
    - why so specific? -- nm - Reagen May 29, 13:04 3
      - Beause I only started the funny Canadian jokes recently, jackass. (nm) - musubi May 29, 13:06 1
        
        must be very recent. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 13:10
      - heh. -- nm - Max May 29, 13:05
  - err. typo-ing. (oh, the irony, to typo the word typo.) -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:01 5
    - not at all. since it's same word, same language, but different spelling it just jumps out more when I see it. - dogbert183 May 29, 13:07 3
      - oh, we're used to the jokes, but there have been at least three, semi-serious posts today about "favourite" and "favour." -- nm - Andie May 29, 13:09 2
        
        I have to admit, those are head-scrathers. (nm) - musubi May 29, 13:11
        
        I'm seeing it like a buddy the dog kind of post where people are just posting it to add on the number of times it's said. - dogbert183 May 29, 13:11
    - I thought that's what you meant, and I know! Like, this is not a new thing! - Subversive May 29, 13:02
An error occurred while rolling the board. An administrator will be notified. -- nm - dogbert183 May 29, 12:58
