It is really weird how you agreed with me and yet still said I was wrong.

It was the term used by the people that actually isolated the substance but, as England likes to do, they colonized the term to their standards and then pretended that was the right way.

Substance discovered by folks that called it alum or aluminum for literally five centuries then the Brits come galloping in to colonize the accepted name then try to look down on everyone else

Must be nice to be super hot, very well known, and incredibly wealthy.
