minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-22 years ago “Aluminum” at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say “foil.” What else would I be talking about in that context? a·lu·mi·num tin·foil (Sorry for the ‘ackshully’, but couldn’t resist.)
minus-square@samus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoACKSHULLY, I was referring to “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium.”
minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish-2•2 years agoThat’s not how you spelled it though in your comment.
minus-square@samus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years ago Easier to say than “aluminium” Is the comment I was replying to.
minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 years agoFair enough. I didn’t read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to ‘aluminum’ versus ‘tinfoil’.
minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish-2•edit-22 years agoDidn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up. the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal. Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not. I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p
minus-square@samus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 years agoThe successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.
minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoOh there we go, okay that explains it. Yeah you guys on the other side of the pond like using extra letters in your words like ‘colour’. :p
minus-square@Zeoic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoColour is closer to you than you think (look up)
minus-squareCosmic ClericlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoUm, by “look up”, if you mean my reply, I was spelling it how it’s spelled over in Europe, not America.
minus-square@Zeoic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoI mean up as in on a map. Canada, north of the US, uses colour
