And I didn't know that they spelt Aluminium differently - I know they pronounced it different. It's like epinephrine and adrenaline, huh? Same chemical but Americans call it epinephrine.
Even the pronounciation of words like "methyl", "ethyl", "propyl" are different. Ah, brings back good memories of organic chem and biochem in Uni! :D
