The IUPAC can spell it how they like. But what is correct in language is determined by the way people use it, not whatever archaic rules your middleschool teacher told you (english) or some central authority publishes (looking at you French and Spanish).

A quick search of lemmy gives >75 pages of aluminum comments, and <35 pages of aluminium comments.

I’m sure that will change when American cultural hegemony fades, but for now, it is what it is.
