That seems like a fire hazard. You’re saying somebody could lock you in?
If it was then you would get steam achievements with them, like stardew.
I vote to change it to the picture above
That’s the only way I’ve ever used it. The aerosol looked so unhealthy lol.
I tried to effect change for 8 years. I gave up when Americans decided that they wanted the shit world. My mental health can’t handle it, I literally am losing years of my life with every moment I spend reading about how the people in this country are hell bent on turning it into the worst possible existence.
Yeah I wish we could filter comments as well.
lol good point.
Make a pen outside the house, cut a hole in the house to let the cows out, free farm.
The purpose of this thread is talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling - the evolution of the word, not who initially named it.
I’m the one that literally started the thread and no the purpose was not “talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling”. It was literally about who fucking named it.
No wonder you have no clue what you are talking about, you aren’t even on the right subject.
This quote is from tthe etymology section, explaining how the spelling rose to prominence in the US - again, Americans drove this spelling adoption - Webster then HALL. Not ‘the Brits’. 🤦♂️
dude. who the fuck do you think CREATED THE FUCKING WORD.
Holy shit, I’ve never seen someone so fucking dense.
DAVY -> WEBSTER -> HALL
it fucking started with Davy, like this isn’t a hard fucking concept to understand. He invented the fucking word. Webster didn’t invent it, Hall didn’t invent it. Fucking Davy invented it. It was literally a Briton that invented it. It fucking started with the Brits. The word wouldn’t exist without Davy. The word wouldn’t be in America without Davy. Do you actually think Webster just invented a different word to put in his book?
🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦
but… nah, this is the Brits fault?
I’m not so sure I’m the one who misread.
You’re literally arguing that the dude who named it that isn’t the reason it’s named that. Yes, you’re either misreading or arguing a lie on purpose. I chose to believe you were just having trouble reading rather than believe you’re lying. The dude who invented the gif named it with a soft g. We don’t go around saying that it is his fault people say it with a hard g. He clearly stated how he wanted it named. Same here. It doesn’t matter that there was a long gap in usage, they didn’t have the internet in the 1800s. It literally could take decades for information to disseminate at all. Those books that Webster used to find common terms came from somewhere. That original source had to have been the creator, who literally named it “aluminum”.
So yes, you’re either misreading, lying, or an idiot. So I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
I don’t really care what it’s called, just that the Brits have a habit (is two a habit?) of making up a word, using it until Americans adopt it, and then dropping it and saying “dumb Americans”. Not that that’s actually what happened, as I detail in my comment below, but it sure does feel that way.
You’ve misread the Wikipedia. It states that he didn’t agree but it could possibly be named aluminium. He then proceeded the next year to use aluminum instead. It was then called aluminum and aluminium in Britain for years.
However, in England and Germany Davy’s spelling aluminum was initially used; until German chemist Friedrich Wöhler published his account of the Wöhler process in 1827 in which he used the spelling aluminium[o], which caused that spelling’s largely wholesale adoption in England and Germany, with the exception of a small number of what Richards characterized as “patriotic” English chemists that were “averse to foreign innovations” who occasionally still used aluminum.[139
So for almost twenty years the Brits (and Germans) called it aluminum, not aluminium.
Americans used aluminium until Webster heard aluminum and put that in his dictionary. Then they actually continued to call it aluminium until the 1890s (the Brits still using both at this point). Then there was a swap in that decade
It is decidedly (according to the source you posted and my past research) the Brits fault. They called it aluminum. They used that name for years, and then only later changed it and then acted like the Americans were weird.
So yes and no, but mostly yes, it is the Brits fault.
in India, there is a religious group that believes/ed bodies should be donated to the sky. they laid out the bodies for the vultures to take them. The entire body would be picked clean in less than a day, going directly back to nature. Sadly most of the vultures are gone now, due to pharmaceuticals. Strangely vultures can consume cyanide and other crazy poisons, but not certain pharmaceuticals that help humans.
depends on your country. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7909512/
edit: sorry was talking with someone and realized that this isn’t as clear as it should be. this isn’t a ‘moral that most don’t agree with’ in all countries. like the US.
Exact same thing with aluminum. Officially named by the Brits, then other Brits didn’t like it.
Lots of times it is a real question, especially if the other person cares about you at all.
You used to be able to hold alt and right click and choose open.
