RE: yes im actually a doctor
The science-related content here reminded me to go look up the difference between the words
aluminum
and
aluminium
. For years, I thought the British were mispronouncing
aluminum
. It turns out that they actually spell it this way in order to be more consistent with things like
titanium
.
In truth, I think it's their way of spinning a blatant mispronunciation.
