      People always argue that -num isn’t a legitimate way for the name of an element to end, but I never see you guys talking about Platinium.

        Then we also need to talk about Sodum, Potassum, Magnesum, Plutonum, Uranum, Cadmum, Chromum, Titanum and a bunch more. Why should Aluminum be the outlier?

        Because platinum is also a concept. Nobody has gotten an aluminum record, or an aluminum medal. Some metals have ascended beyond mere utility into superficiality. Aluminium isn’t there yet.
