I got to wander around the Alcoa plant in Massena NY last year, I have it on the best authority that it's Aluminum.
It's likely that somone was painting a sign for Alcoa some years back... and they forgot the i. Instead of fixing it they just left it that way... figuring noone would notice. and nobody did... UNTIL NOW! [img]smile.gif[/img] |

The american pronunciation that makes me laugh most is VE-HIC-ILL [img]smile.gif[/img] - not like us that pronounce it VEREKILL, I dunno, your way is probably right but it still sounds funny to me

According to the dictionary that spells "mum" as "mom" and "colour" as "color", it is Aluminium. |
