  I explained the whole naming process. You gotta read it. The US was given the name as Aluminum and did not change it when the British changed it a third time.

    But aluminum is nit the original name and you explain that. It’s also not the correct way either.

      Welcome to ignore. Everyone else understood the discussion … you are the outlier.

        Alumium is the original name. You can’t explicity say that and then also argue that Aluminum is the original. It’s a direct contradiction.
