"Alu-mini-um" = "Aluminum"?
Sorry mate but you need to play the 'we invented the language, deal with it' card...
They do have us on 'lieutenant' though. As it derives from the French word "lieu" meaning 'instead of', pronounced "lee-uh". How the frig we [English] can justify pronouncing a loan word our own way ("lef") is beyond me.
