LOL! It's spelled aluminum. You and Tom added an extra "i".
It's spelled aluminium in the UK, hence the pronunciation difference.
Humphry Davy was the discoverer of Al, and he decided to call it alumium, but then changed it to aluminum. Shortly afterwards aluminium was finally adopted so that the suffix -ium made it more consistent with many of the other metallic elements in the periodic table. According to the IUPAC, aluminium is the standard international spelling.

The correct and original way of spelling it is Aluminium *As Remmy points out above* but over time the Americans changed it back to suit their needs, Easier to say and write which is always a good thing

That's not strictly true either Dice. Like in my post above, Humphry Davy (an englishman) gave it the 'American English' name aluminum which must have stuck in some parts of the world before it was changed to aluminium to be more consistent with other metallic elements

Already did read about it before I posted Remmy and as it was changed to have the "i" in it, It was officially recognised to be correct which is why many people view the yank way of spelling it to be incorrect even though it technically isn't.
I had this discussion with my English lecturer and it use to drive him crazy if anyone said aluminum ^_^

Well I completely agree with it being aluminium, but it's understandable why others use aluminum, it's just a shame it caught on in some places before it was finalised as aluminium
I know it does sound funny lol
