We also spell it the correct way - aluminium and pronounce it like that. It's not Al-OO-m'num.

And how else would you pronounce renaissance? REN-ah-sonce? How come North Americans have this predilection for pronouncing anything with an 'e' in the first syllable with the stress on that syllable?

You yanks just don't know how to talk proper!
