british speak

This could be quite a duh entry, but I couldn't help but mention. My MS Word is set to the British language (a shift from the American English utilized in the Philippines), and I was quite surprised to discover that the Brits actually spell it as aluminium. I thought they just pronounced aluminum differently. Something new I learned today eh?

Now, I should check if they spell schedule differently. Somehow everyone here says it as she-jul. Hmm...

hahaha... kaya pala. i had been wondering kung bakit ganun yung ms word sa office. kala ko di ako marunong mag spell ng aluminum, or that i had been thought wrongly at school. :)
