I have written before about the interesting ways that the English sometimes pronounce words. Here is my new favorite----see if you can pronounce "aluminum" the way they do......
al (short a sound) u (long u sound) min (like we do, except the accent is on this syllable) e (long e sound----an extra sound than we have) um (short u sound)
Could you do it?
Can you believe that is the normal pronunciation here??
So, when you go to the grocery store, ask for aluminum foil with the English pronunciation and see if anyone knows what you are wanting!

And it's the Americans that are stupid...
