Why do you guys in the US always omit the "i" in aluminium ?


You mean the second "i"? Probably because we spell it correctly: Aluminum.

But you do it ONLY to Alumin(i)um. What about Lithium, Barium, Chromium,
Ruthenium, Titanium, Uranium, and so on......?

Hmmmm, does "so on" also include Lanthanum, Molybdenum, Platinum, and
Tantalum?
