Well louie, I have a Scottish accent so how would that work for ya?! Would it depend on what I was saying??
That said, I've never been so "popular" as when I was in the US! I never had to say much...haha.
Also, we say aluminIUm because that's how it is spelt in the UK, haha! We seem to like extra vowels... It's the same reason that hearing someone say alumiUM winds me up!
