^ I thought I was the only one who did that.. phew
I've begun to use "ise" "zed" etc, as well. I even get annoyed when people say "ah-loo-minum", immediately snapping to what I perceive as the correct "al-yew-minium" pronunciation. Mind you, I did grow up with English parents, so I have a natural tendency towards the Queen's English
the al-yew pronunciation is completely wrong. I think it's the only british word that they seriously just came up with out of nowhere. Look at the actual word, Aluminum I see no second I.
