# Although
apparently 'aloominum' IS the way it was first pronounced, being discovered by a merkin, it's only when we brought the discovery over here we changed it to 'alyuminyum'.

Obviously I'm writing phoenetically there.

Also, that could all be a load of bollocks, I can't think where I got that from.

# It's a word, the word exists. It is pronounced in the aforementioned way.

# Well it would be
If it weren't for the fact you're not supposed to give them marmite this young. Too salty apparently.

I said screw it and let her have some anyway

# She's YOUR baby.
To do with as you wish until she's 18. I'm 100% behind this, which is why my babies will be dressed in star trek uniforms until they're big enough to fight me off.

# I would dispute that
Surely the Latin vite would be "Veetay"

(I helped save b3ta! Vulthoom, Tue 14 Apr 2009, 10:15, archived)
# or
"witç" - "V" was pronounced as "W"
(I helped save b3ta! Enzyme is powered by sunlight, Tue 14 Apr 2009, 10:19, archived)
# But the "modern" English pronunciation
when the word was first coined would have used the (incorrect) hard V.

Hey! Wait a minute.
I just rememebered.

No-one cares!

Poot Poot.

# Yes it would
But vitamins is a portmanteau of vital amines. So they're still pronouncing it wrong: it should be vite-a-meens
