Reminder that Murrilard dipshits will post the above with a straight face and then whinge that the "u" in colour and the -re in theatre is a French affectation.

Reminder that Britlard diships will post the above with a straight face and then whinge that the "h" in herb and the "t" in in fillet is a French affectation.
Also we write theatre with an re you brainlet.
Theater is the building, theatre is the art.

Nicholas Williams

>Brits literally changed the spelling of aluminum because they thought it sounded more "Latin"
At least the Based Leafs have our back on this

That's because the word means "place" as in a position (cf. in lieu of); and tenant meaning "holding" as in "holding a position"; thus a "lieutenant" is a placeholder for a superior, during their absence (compare the Latin locum tenens).
"Left tenant" makes more sense in English given the actual meaning of the word, so it's pronounced that way.

>Brits laugh at us because the way Americans speak makes "Mirror" sound like "meer"
>they pronounce is meeruh
>Brits laugh at us because of how we pronounce some things

Tyler Martin
No, he (not "they") changed it because it follows the same pattern as every other element with the same suffix. Do you say helum and iridum?

Do they really?
Jaxon Rodriguez
>they thought it sounded more "Latin"
it doesn't? While the name of the element in polish is "Glin" the metal used for fabrication is called "aluminium"
Anthony Brown

Yeah would be better if we'd just renamed it "steadholder" or something, but English isn't known for being logical.

I love it when educated anglophone use fancy French words like plateau, rendez-vous, je ne sais quoi.
Henry Sanchez
