Jony Ive, I hate the word "alu-mini-um"!

[The-Real-Deal82]

Why do they have to mess everything up?

It's aluminium!
It's maths!
It's centre!
It's soccer!

Don't forget 'Colour'

You posted that while I was editing it in

 

[heehaw]

Recognize!

 

[Stanick]

In most European languages it's Aluminium. In Cyrillic it sounds nearly the same "Алуминий"...

 

[pooleman]

Yes.

And it doesn't have anything to do with "forms" of English. It is "latin'd" for the periodic table to most of the world.

And while we are at it. The Brits should stop saying "colour" and other useless additions of the letter "u". It's "color"! And don't even get me started on "centre".

America!

And Doctor Who is awful. Just downright terrible.

The British have just woken up and we're pissed

Speak for yourself. We don't all wake up drunk.

pissed=drunk

pissed off=cross.

They are not interchangeable.

The are for us Aussies (and it's pronounced Ozies for you Americans!). It's also Aluminium, and metric, and S's not Z's in words ending in "ise"

 

[robertosh]

I know that is useless but in spanish is Aluminio

 

[MattZani]

Aluminum sounds like an off brand knock off of Aluminium.

I was shocked when I first heard an American say "ossie"!

 

[Lancetx]

As an American, I love the way that Jony pronounces it. During his memorial service three years ago, they mentioned that Steve Jobs was always amused when he heard Jony say it as well.

When your "Labor" Party learns to spell its own name properly with a U and when Nine learns to start Big Brother in June instead of September, we'll listen to what you have to say.

P.S. An apostrophe is NEVER, ever used to make something plural mate.
