Spellings

Do we say aluminium or aluminum? Adipy (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People generally pronounce it the way it is spelt where they live (i.e. "aluminum" in the USA and sometimes in Canada, "aluminium" everywhere else). Black Kite (talk) 19:44, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aluminum, of course.
