I personally say "aluminium" when talking about chemistry, but habit has made it hard to not say "aluminum" when talking about stuff like aluminum foil

when I was younger, a good decade-plus ago, I would often watch mythbusters and wonder what this "illuminum" stuff was that they mentioned sometimes. it wasn't until a good few years later that I realised it was just the american form of "aluminium".
