How do YOU pronounce 'aluminum'?

Big Dick McGee

If you don't know, now ya know
Al-you-MIN-e-um or Uh-LOOM-in-um?
 
correctly
 
Neither.

AH-LOO-MI-NUM
 
"Al-oo-MIN-e-um", but that's of course because we spell it differently.
 
Actually, I think what I say is more al-uh-min-ee-um. I dunno... I can't tell if I'm saying it properly anymore.

I've said "Jiminy Jillikers" so many times the words have lost all meaning!
 
I say al-uh-min-yum, I think?
 
ALLA-MIN-YUHM

The way you'd expect I would, except when I'm quoting Scotty from Star Trek 4.
 
Suck alum and drool.
 
Ull-ooh-mee-nee-oom, (kind of)

At least it's not our fault we say it differently. DAMN FLIP FLOPPER SCIENTIST.
 
Tin Foy-el.

I call it Tin Foil alla time, but LG always corrects me with, "There's no TIN in it any more".

My Grandmom used to pronounce it "A-loo-me-yum" LOL old people are funny.
