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.

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!
