Which is the best, Aluminum or Aluminium?

Whats the difference and what are the advantages/disadvantages?

 

Hi San Remo GT, they are the same element (AL) ... http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/aluminium.htm

If you are American you tend to say Aluminum (A-lu-min-um) otherwise it is generally Aluminium (Al-u-min-eum).

Yeah, that's why I prefer Aluminum bikes to Aluminium bikes, the former are typically sold in dollars and the latter in pounds. well I like a light bike and any fool knows a dollar weighs a lot less than a pound.

 

Hi daveryanwyoming, not if you are Australian where a large amount of Alumina exists (sold in AU dollars ... hmm, maybe/maybe not?) and I have always known it as Aluminium ...
