      Didn’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

        The successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.

          Yeah you guys on the other side of the pond like using extra letters in your words like ‘colour’. :p

              Um, by “look up”, if you mean my reply, I was spelling it how it’s spelled over in Europe, not America.

                  I mean up as in on a map.

                  Ah, so you were speaking geographically, and not Lemmyically.
