my favorite is aluminum/aluminium because both are corrections to Davy's original "alumium"

Depends which "correction" you think is better

e: do you follow the pattern of "platinum" or the pattern of "rubidium"

i'm sure that i've read somewhere that by the 'rules' they were using at the time, it would be aluminum since the rootword in this case would be 'alumina' since that's what oxide it was prepared from, a similar naming scheme applied to platinum coming from platina, lanthanum coming from lanthana and molybdenum coming from molybdena, i think Davy himself waffled back and forth but it was too far gone by that point, either way he picked the -ium ending not by any rule but just so it looks nice and neat next to the other elements

incidentally, sodium should probably be sodum or sodanum, as it was prepared from caustic soda, but a combination of Davy misnaming that one again when he discovered it and sodium being briefly known as natrium (rootword natron, where the elemental symbol Na comes from) made the other ending stick

Davy would complete the hatrick by misnaming potassium when he also discovered that, preparing it from potash, which was also briefly known as kalium (elemental symbol K)

anyway there are no real rules, it's all 19th century mad hatter scientists chirping pig-latin at each other all the way down

That is just you using gendered terms. It isn't having two words for "Chair" where one is a Male chair and one is Female Chair.

So, you are wrong.

Sodium and potassium were taught as natrium and kalium as recently as the mid-90s. They still might be for all I know. Confused the crap out of me when I moved to the States.

Granted, that was in :tito:

Depends on the language. Many languages have their own names for elements, but use the IUPAC symbol regardless.

Those are the (loan)words for those elements in Japanese, too. A lot of their science and medical terms are from Dutch and German.

Roosevelt wasn�t the only American trying to simplify or standardize American English spelling.

There was this effort and I think Benjamin Franklin made an attempt, too (to no one�s surprise) in an effort to make literacy easier to accomplish and overcome difference in dialects and assist in 2nd language acquisition for immigrants.

They all failed.

What I wonder about is what kind of must be going through people's heads when they try to figure out colloquial constructs like the distinction between "few" and "a few".

Like I can barely even think how to explain it clearly, let alone expect anyone to get it off the bat (and few do)

Articles and when to use them are, I'm told, one of the more obnoxious parts of mastering English.

When I was a kid I was a know it all grammar Nazi. Now that I've at least on paper grown up, over-corrections and straight up false corrections (like chomping vs champing) are way more annoying than people writing or speaking "incorrectly."
