I respect it when I hear someone clearly using a word they've only seen written - Lemmy.World

Mispronounced words by British people are unacceptable though. The Brits need to be stopped!
And their wacky spellings
That’s nothing. I throw up a little in my mouth every time I see “cheque” misspelled, “check”.
The origin behind Aluminum and Aluminium is kinda interesting because the inventor that first refined the element used both pronunciations and iirc I believe I he had even a third pronunciation (“(spectraaluminum.com/aluminum-vs-aluminium.html)[alumium]”)that never caught on.
Aluminum vs Aluminum

Aluminum is a metal with many advantageous properties and practical applications, but the history of its name in the scientific world is somewhat complicated.
