The discoverer, Humphry Davy, later renamed it aluminium, which is the more widely used slepping of the word, and was renamed to match many other -ium elements. The Americans and Canadians did not catch on...
You’d think farangs who move abroad might actually be a little less provincial than that.
Or at least have the inquisitiveness to ask “why is it that everything else ends in -ium but this one word?”
Or maybe just have the sense to Google or Wikipedia some basic facts before mouthing off

American English has become the defacto standard because...no one can understand a Geordi, and the English cannot even spell aluminum (named by its discoverer and lacking a second "I" in any respectable Chemistry text). The Queen's English is derived from the 13th century occupation of England by France, when no one in London could get a job without speaking French. Further, the English accent is not popular in Asia, simply because it uses an extra phoneme, and places bizarre stresses on unrelated vowel sounds, which is why 'mate' is mispronounced as 'mite', and accepted in the UK. Adieu, mate!
Lith-ium, Sod-ium, Potass-ium, Caes-ium, Magnes-ium, Calc-ium, Titan-ium, Chiron-ium. Alumin...
Type “Aluminum” into Wikipedia just for fun. Go on ‘mite’, try it. There’s a bit about it’s discoverer too.

A smart Thai in power would ask for help from the ex-pat community to get qualified English speakers into schools...just for one year till the Wuhan China virus silliness is over. Immigration and Educators work together to smooth the way. There would be enough Aussie's and British ex-pats out there in the community. No sense in bringing in Flippers who speak American English, all those lovely kiddies need to learn the Queens English so they can get ahead in life.
You got flamed a couple of times because some people just don’t have the innate ability to appreciate written humor. Non NES are excused but seeing apparently NES ignoramuses taking offence is just sad. “I don’t get British humor” comes the reply. Nah, you’re just a slow-minded simpleton.

Such misplaced confidence and general unsubstantiated consipiratorial nonsense (“Obamagate”) reminds me of Flat Earthers. But probably just another little Q-Anoner.
So many poor poor souls like this poster who can just 100% filter out all the evidence against his position but then jump on anything supporting his belief as “top of the iceberg” conspiracy stuff.
Meanwhile screaming “BIAS!”
like there’s no tomorrow. Talk about hypocrisy.
