LOL you retards call it "enn zee"? Are you serious? Man, Americans sure have butchered the language.

edit: Also, it's aluminium. Just like titanium, plutonium, lithium, potassium, einsteinium and magnesium.

I use a lot of American English because in my industry (software development) it is the de facto standard, but in prose and on the intertubes it's all NZ English. I get annoyed when I see code like
Code:
Color colour = Color.BLACK;

what do you call it then? ned zed?

enn zed?

both sound retarded.

Some of us are able to remember whole country names.

And never mind Maths and Colour, when you can turn 'thank you very much' into an insult that sails straight over American heads (it also tends to go inadvertently over the New Zealanders and the Australians - but they are truly simple anyway, so just pat them on the head afterwards to show them you mean no malice), you are truly British.
