      I’m fairly sure ‘alu-mini-um’ s the proper UK/Aussie/NZ and possibly Canadian way to pronounce it, only Americans pronounce it alu-min-um.

      But yes, rogue vs rouge is another one people mix up all the time.

        “I’m sorry sire, he went rouge!” “My god! how will we get all that make up off them!?”

      aluminium is as far as im concerned, the incorrect way to spell that word, im pretty sure it’s a regional thing at this point.
