The phrase is 'repeat after me', Bernd.
I prefer 'alimium'. Original, consistent and most logical. I have the autisms by the way.
>>7728055
That's the correct pronunciation in British English but it's wrong in American English. If the concept of different dialects blows your mind, you're probably not suited for a career in the sciences.

Only the finest in linguistic absurdities from the Brits. I love you guys and your fancy made-up dialect.
>Davy settled on aluminum by the time he published his 1812 book Chemical Philosophy: "This substance appears to contain a peculiar metal, but as yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state, though alloys of it with other metalline substances have been procured sufficiently distinct to indicate the probable nature of alumina."[78] But the same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, in a review of Davy's book, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound."[79]

Last I checked you don't call it 'mathematic'.
>>7728253
if abbreviations had to follow the pluralization and pronunciation rules of their full word then many, many words in the english language would be very different than they are
holding math to a special standard in that respect is illogical and inconsistent and just demonstrates how insecure the special snowflake brits are
>>7728263
Got any reasons to call it 'math' over maths?

>>7728055
Magnesum. Sodum.
>>7728268
Because mathematics isn't actually a plural word, look up the Greek etymology.
>>7728292
Still not a legitimate reason to call it 'math' over maths.

Lad...
>>7728310
The 's' in 'maths' isn't referring to plurality. If you actually looked up the Greek etymology you would understand this.
Also we call it mathematics in Britain. Least in all the schools I went to.
>>7728314
>The apparent plural form in English, like the French plural form les mathématiques (and the less commonly used singular derivative la mathématique), goes back to the Latin neuter plural mathematica (Cicero), based on the Greek plural τα μαθηματιkά (ta mathēmatiká), used by Aristotle (384–322 BC), and meaning roughly "all things mathematical"; although it is plausible that English borrowed only the adjective mathematic(al) and formed the noun mathematics anew, after the pattern of physics and metaphysics, which were inherited from the Greek.[27] In English, the noun mathematics takes singular verb forms. It is often shortened to maths or, in English-speaking North America, math.[28]
So basically, everyone's right.
>>7728314
I'm taking a class next semester called mathematical methods. For short we call it "Math Methods" because there's no s in mathematical and "Maths Methods" would sounds fucking retarded.

If anything, calling it aluminium makes it odd in comparison to the other 'common metals'.
I don't get it, would you prefer we called iron 'ironium'? Tin, 'tinium'? Why is it more 'correct' to call aluminum 'aluminium'? Protip: It isn't.

First of all, you have to consider the original names of the elements, if you want to make a point. Here i'm talking about latin names and if a such doesn't exist, then don't use the retarded name, like "tungsten"... "Tungsten" is called "wolfram" in any language, that is not affected by a retarded swede back in the day...
But you are unfortunately right, because even if you don't use retarded languages gold is still called "aurum" in latin - ergo it has no "-ium" ending.
There you go, I just made an arguement, that was the one that you should have used.
But still "aluminum" sounds stupid and retarded - people, please stop using it

"Aluminum" sounds like a real thing.
"Aluminium" sounds like a made up bullshit British word/phrase, like wibbly dibbly or tiddleywink.
>>7728462
Insightful and interesting, but work on those comma placements.
Other than that, I really don't care which name people call our favorite little lightweight as long as they aren't causing a kerfuffle whenever someone uses the other name; that's when it gets ridiculous. Same thing with words like 'favorite' as opposed to 'favourite'; both are correct, so whatever.

Americans just don't know how to spell words.
They spell it "defense" ignoring the fact that "defence" comes from "fence".
Embarrassing.
This entire thing is stupid. Roosevelt wanted to separate the US and the UK in terms of spelling. So he removed the 'u's in words that he felt didn't need them. It doesn't matter. I go to school in the U.S. and have UK spelling before and have never been faulted for it by an educator. That being said the UK is still a shithole inferior to America. Aluminum is the only correct way of speaking.
So, Idontcarium, OR Idontcarum?
Srsly, we're still running out of platinum and other rare earths at an alarming rate, and you fagets argue over tinfoil?

If you check the link it's timestamped at 0:19 so it's supposed to automatically start at 0:19 but I guess that doesn't work when you embed it, only if you actually copy the fuckin thing and paste it in the url search bar

Well, if you want, you can try builds from here

Go to the very end of the list for the latest. Go back a directory if you're using a 32 bit OS for some terrible reason that should have been gone years ago.
>>7731217
Oh. And download "mini_installer.exe". It just extracts itself into appdata/local.
