Anything that starts with a C followed by a wovel.
Should be spelled with a K, Mortal Kombat way.

English language is easy to learn, it's just annoying to learn how to spell some words properly.
I'm mostly annoyed by words with a lot of double letters, like successful or necessary, can't remember when to use double letters and when not to.

The British pronounce a lot of French words wrong.

I think it's done deliberately to piss them off

Thats a case of Americans butchering the word by removing letters, not the word being unintuitively pronounced. The correct spelling is aluminium, pronounced Al-loo-min-ee-um.

As for the topic, Cait Sith.

On that note, some streets around my area similarly use British names that arent pronounced the way they look, like Berwick (berrick) and -derby (darby).

The person who isolated the element spelled it aluminum, but a contemporary of his wanted to spell it as aluminium in line with sodium and potassium which Davy had also isolated and named.
