When I was in school, we learned to spell it the English way. I think it's
spelled the American way, now? I always pronounced it Al-u-min-ee-um in my
mind to spell it out on paper. Same way we learned the English pronunciation
"lef-ten-ant" instead of lieutenant.

Yes so do I, but with me it is the Dutch that is coming out...LOL
