So we already are argueing ;)

Getting serious,
IMNSHO We should use international standards, and not fight
about local variants.
That also applies to date formats 
(i.e see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 for forums, whatever.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
adopted aluminium as the standard international name.
(which is also used in many other languages other than english)
Although alternate spellings are accepted, this is the standard.
