I have English (Canadian) as my spelling/grammar dictionary.

I type in 'aluminum'. It's somehow incorrect.

Hello! We've only been using aluminum for a few decades!

which is really dumb sounding, but maybe it's spelt aluminIum in there.... lol

No, trust me, I spelled it 'aluminum'.

And the correct spelling is supposedly 'aluminium', which is what the British use.
