Australian/British spelling: aluminium
American spelling: aluminum

Lost a few letter there huh!

Yet you (Americans) insist of saying "tuna fish," when the rest of the world can say "tuna," safe in the knowledge that yes, it is a fish, but you don't have to spell it out.

Then I remember the unfortunate experience of watching an episode of newly weds and realise why this is important to you... :P No dear it isn't chicken. O_O

EDIT: Not trying to be offensive here, just musing, since my spell-checker insists on being American and it's annoying me.

Rofl! We are just silly Americans. :p But then again you are watching a show that is all about Jessica Simpson and her "new" hubby who is 50 times smarter than she is. Okay almost everyone is 50 times smarter than Jessica. *hides from the Jessica Simpson fans*

Hee! Totally aware of that! Just felt like poking fun! :P

Was just getting mad at spell-checker, which refuses to stay on Australian spelling. It changes aluminium and puts Z's where I want S's. Pissing me off man!

Lol. ;D My spell check doesn't know about half the time what I'm trying to spell.
