When China finally takes over the economic world, how will they deal with the fact that all their customers speak Spanish??? Hola Ni Hao Ma?

(based on an observation from Home Depot, where all the customers are Mexican and all the products are Chinese)

He failed to point out that there is NO extra "I" in ALUMINUM!!!

It's <ah-loo-muh-nim>

not <al-yu-min-ee-um>

Wikipedia will settle this argument!

Damn, they're unclear. Apparently -um was what the guy who invented it stated, but -ium was demanded by the science posse cos it had a more classical sound despite the existence of platinum etc.

Seems like major science bodies tried to enforce -ium as the norm, then accepted -um as an alternative, but -ium seems to be favoured.

The i's have it on the left! (of the u)

That's a british politics joke, a really bad one.

ah-loo-muh-nim? Are you quite sure? I haven't heard it pronounced like that in USA or UK/rest-of-world

Haha! Been there too, classic case of the American language having a mind of it's own

I've always thought that just because you dress up in women's clothes it doesn't necessarily mean that you are bilingual.

And Americans pronounce "r"s at the end of words, because there are fucking "r"s there.
