Re: Aluminum Dust Fire
Well well well... I DO apologise my American friends... Seems like I was totally wrong there. "According to the Online Etymology Dictionary English chemist Sir Humphry Davy named the element alumium in 1808 and then changed it to aluminum in 1812. British editors changed it to aluminium to be more in keeping with other elements such as potassium and sodium, while the Americans retained the spelling as aluminum." I stand corrected |
