At my first job in the US 25 years ago I tried to find a company to flock some aluminum vanes on an air conditioner That became a wholly different experience than I had thought it would be
That is due to Appalachian being much closer to Eleizabethan era (I think) English than even current UK English is
Those aren't Europeans that say "aluminium", those are British people. However, they ARE currently having a little bit a a dispute about whether they are European.
