Hmmmm, well, my father-in-law - who has has multiple degrees in chemistry
from Cal Tech and teaches chemistry - spells it aluminum. Nyahh, nyahh,
nyahh! :-P
And since you note both are listed, it kinda reduces you first comment's

Checked the periodic chart over at the micro-biologists' building: Aluminum.
More nyahhs!
