I'm with you Stuart,
Those dang Americans, one thing that has always bugged me is that they seem to change words either just to suit themselves, or make them easier to spell, such as colo(u)r, rumo(u)r etc and the worst one of all...........Aluminum! Where has the second i gone?
You cannot just REMOVE a letter from a Chemical name in the periodic table for convenience! Or perhaps Al-oo-min-ee-um is too hard to pronounce? I don't know.
Gosh Darn it!
