    The English say everything weird. That's why we don't take them seriously.

    In British English it is spelled Aluminium so they pronounce it that way. I think its closer to the French were it came from and somehow the spelling changed in the US.

    Another sch word pronounced as "sk." I was pointing out the inconsistency of saying "skool" for school and "shedule" for schedule when they are the same sequence of letters. They should be pronounced the same so if you say "shedule," you should also be saying "shool" and "sholar."

    Pronouncing it the "shed" way makes me feel like I'm being lazy in forming the word in my mouth. I think I put too much into the end of my version though, I guess it's ske-jew-all (but the all is shorter than the stand alone word)

    It's not from French. The typical suffix for elements in English when aluminium was identified was "-ium", but the discoverer decided to name it "aluminum". English scientists didn't like that name because it sounded worse, supposedly, and used "aluminium" instead. Aluminum is more common in the U.S. because it was used in advertising by some American inventor at the time.
