quality post ameribro
I have analyzed the arguments
American: Cuprum, Aurum, Pablum, Argentum,
>Aluminum
British: Gallium, Indium, Thallium,
>Aluminium
American Rebuttal: Aluminum is derived from latin Alum like all the others I mentioned
British Rebuttal: All the elements I cited are in the same elemental Group on the periodic table
Final Analysis: if you are going to use the latin derived term why not call it 'Alum,' the British argument is stronger. Don't forget Germanium, Uranium, etc., all ending with -ium and not -um
it should be called Aluminium

No, by your logic it should be Alumium
