I did learn that our spelling of aluminium is incorrect

Or at least not the original.

The story went something like that on discovering the metal, they named it alumium. It was soon changed to aluminum. The name migrated once more to aluminium simply because it sounded more classical.

Although apparently the yanks went along with this for years before changing back to aluminum.

Fuck me it's boring when we have no games and no signings.
