One of my favorite subjects. That, and accents. May have pointed out previously here that I recently learnt that "aluminium" is actually correct. "(IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990. In 1993, they recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant". Humphrey Davy found it and called it aluminum, but he coulda treated Michael Faraday better. . .
Oh, and I like the stickers.
