I'm English US = o-reg-a-no UK = or-ree-gah-no US = rout UK = root Aluminium is a bit different - it seems USA/Canada call it aluminum, whereas the rest of the world mostly call it aluminium, hence the different pronunciation You guys spell aluminum "aluminium"? We spell and pronounce it aluminum. Yup. Apparently it was initially named by the (English) man that discovered it as "alumium" in 1807, he then changing it to "aluminum", and finally settled on "aluminium" in 1812.
