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

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.

‘This just in, new evidence suggests that Tolkien’s working title for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ was ‘Guy With Rings Wants to Conquer the World’. According to gmtom - this is what we should call Lord of the Rings, because it’s the original name.’
Look up prescriptivism, you sound like a dipshit.
