Actualy, annoying as it is, that one is correct.Aluminum is the original name for it and it was us Brits who chaged it to Aluminium so that it fitted in better with the way other elements are pronounced like cadmium etc.

Having wikipedia'd it I stick by my guns..." The spelling aluminium is the international standard in the sciences (IUPAC). The American spelling is nonetheless used by many American scientists. Humphry Davy, the element's discoverer, first proposed the name alumium, and then later aluminum. The name aluminium was finally adopted to conform with the -ium ending of metallic elements.[5] Canada as US, Australia as UK."
International standard. Meaning worldwide. Unlike World Series ;)
