This is getting way too pedantic but...
*pushes up glasses*
Actually in the original source of Principles of Chemical Philosophy of 1821 the author (Sir Humphrey Davy) describes the metal discovered and names it "aluminum"
American English preserves this 1812 spelling and pronunciation of the word.
All this for a throwaway joke because it's said differently in other areas but I don't follow the metric system or watch soccer because other countries are obsessed with them and neither am I going to even cede that aluminum is wrong when the entomology of the word suggests it was changed multiple times from the person who discovered it and wanted to make a cool Latin sounding word without knowing Latin.
The oldest version and first use of the word is actually alumium.
