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.

Please don't judge our whole country by that twit. Egad.

Never fear! I'm just being silly and having issues with my spell-checker here insisting that it's American! I love my very smart and lovely American pals. :)

Actually I could say the same thing about Crocodile Dundee and the late Steve Irwin, but people jump on me. :P

heee. I totally wouldn't. I'd completely agree with you.

Judge as by The Wiggles instead.
