    A few years ago it was on Netflix. It was paired with Shazam. I think it came on after The Hudson Brothers Show. The trailer for the new Shazam movie actually looks funny.

    You mean we pronounce aluminIum as al-u-min-Ium

    The official spelling ends in "ium"

    Of course it makes sense that the UK spelling would be predominant because it is the origination point of English.

    It was complicated - the English guy who named it changed his mind and he went with "num" ending.
    And America mostly used the "ium" spelling initially.
    Anyway - both are acceptable, but only one is the official.

    And its crazy that the pronunciation differs from the first syllable.

    But hey - dont get me started on words like "solder" - that gave me much grief in the USA.

    When I worked at ChickFilA it was Christian radio only. We kept track and determined that much like Christmas songs there are really only ten songs. They're just redone by every single group in the genre.

    It was almost magical when that station did their telethons and got turned off for the week or two it ran.
