Duo 6850 running a GTX580 lol no wonder it runs like crap.

 

[jimcarrel]

Come to think of it, geese are a natural soil enhancer, especially with a diet largely made up of Cheez-its. (6850 with a GTX580, wait a minute, I've heard of and owned worse)

It's ALUMINIUM.

Ok so for some (stupid) reason you decide to use Aluminum despite the main who discovered it officially declaring it to be Aluminium after some conjecture.

My driver and crew chief, while on line standby in a P2, got into a conversation about nozzles on the upper turret and the driver kept saying ALU-MIN-IUM. I thought he was bonkers. I guess not.

At around 10:30 they say a-lou-minimum..

 

[RitterWolf]

I like to put a fork full of garlic in my spag bol. It just doesn't have the right flavour otherwise. When I'm eating this you probably want to stay at least 5 metres away from me.

[Mike Campbell]

Oh my. And it claims 'Home Style Goodness'.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

 

[ROON]

Don't worry, Mike. It's 'without giblets'!

 

[ZeosPantera]

That poor child has mouth aids because of that chicken..

 

[jimcarrel]

Ohh, just coat it with Cheeze-its. nice and crunchy texture and the cheesy flavor will cover any foreign taste.

Humour

Humor

Holy crap! Is that real? That looks disgusting. That looks so wrong

It's ALUMINIUM.

Simply put...you are wrong

First of all, did you know that the first recorded written instance of this word, which was in the Oxford English Dictionary (obviously from the UK), spelled it alumium? So if you keep being stubborn about absolute originality, you should probably say it like that!

"The man who discovered it"---that would be Humphrey Davy. In his 1812 book, Elements of Chemical Philosophy, he originally spelled it--guess what--aluminum.

It was actually an ANONYMOUS contributor, in another paper, who changed the word to aluminium, citing a "less classical sound".

I know you provided plenty of examples, but they weren't good ones! What about platinum, molybdenum, and tantalum? Also, don't forget that alumina is the oxide of aluminum, like lanthana is the oxide of lanthanum, while magnesia, ceria, and thoria are the oxides of magnesium, cerium, and thorium respectively, so there is plenty of precedent for aluminum. Looking at the word roots, 'aluminium' just doesn't make sense. 'Aluminum' is correct.

As we say here in America, only half-joking, "The English: they invented this language and can't even speak it."
