I will make a conscious effort now that I know about this issue and also I'm just commenting because this post has that glorious Bottle of Water response and I want it in my comment history to find easier later.

ITT a bunch of weird pedantic nerds that hate language and don't read enough books.
Substance discovered by folks that called it alum or aluminum for literally five centuries then the Brits come galloping in to colonize the accepted name then try to look down on everyone else
Cool narrative you got there mate, problem is while the term "alum" was used for (far more than) 5 centuries, the words "aluminium" and "aluminium" were both coined around the same time, roughly 1810ish. Also, Sir. Davy, who coined the phrase that you hold dear, was British.
Tldr: every part of that statement is wrong
It is really weird how you agreed with me and yet still said I was wrong.
Yeah, sarcasm mate
Then they stole all their ancient artefacts to put in their own museums.
I, a man of culture, call it Alimony.
Which culture is that? Weird Al?
The five syllable elements are all weird radioactive things. If Al has five syllables it might make my beer can radioactive or poisonous. Better keep the syllable count on Al to four or less like all of the other normal elements.
