minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·1 年前“Aluminum” at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say “foil.” What else would I be talking about in that context?

minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前ACKSHULLY, I was referring to “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium.”
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·1 年前That’s not how you spelled it though in your comment.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前 Easier to say than “aluminium” Is the comment I was replying to.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·edit-21 年前Fair enough. I didn’t read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to ‘aluminum’ versus ‘tinfoil’.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·edit-21 年前Didn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up. the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal. Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not. I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 年前The successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Oh there we go, okay that explains it. Yeah you guys on the other side of the pond like using extra letters in your words like ‘colour’. :p
minus-squareZeoic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Colour is closer to you than you think (look up)
minus-squareCosmic Cleric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Um, by “look up”, if you mean my reply, I was spelling it how it’s spelled over in Europe, not America.
