So, I began to use aluminum to avoid embarrassment. The funny thing is, as I write this in MS Entourage (Outlook equivalent), aluminum is flagged and the spell checker (if I ever use :-) would correct it to aluminium. OTOH, when I write aluminum in MS Word, it does not flag but it does when I spelled aluminium. Is aluminum some kind of "American" spelling, or aluminum and aluminium indicates any subtle difference, or no distinction at all? The bottom line question is "which is correct"? Thank you, Ken In US and Canada it is Aluminum. In the rest of the world it is Aluminium. Take your pick..... Ziggy
