Thanks! Now can you explain the picture (and your OA)? BoD

I /wanted/ it to be a tin[1] foil hat as seen here: <url:zapatopi.net/afdb.html> but I couldn't get it to look right so I left it untitled. I think that without a lot of setting the stage type work that no ascii art of a tin foil hat will be regonizable as such unless it is drawn on such a large scale as to make it unusable.

[1] Aluminum is the correct word but everyone knows it as a tin foil hat for legacy reasons. -- .-')) asciipr0n.com/fp ('-. | It's a damn poor mind that ' ..- .:" ) ( ":. -..

Since we're on the subject of language, aluminium is the correct word.

I believe "aluminium" was a typo at the British patent office, or something of the sort... pretty sure the original spelling is "aluminum".

In 1808, Humphry Davy originally proposed the name alumium whilst trying to electrolytically isolate the new metal from the mineral alumina. A couple of years later he changed the name to aluminum to match its Latin root, but was finally persuaded to restore the -ium ending in 1812 giving aluminium. This had the advantage of conforming to the -ium suffix precedent set by other newly discovered elements of the period potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and strontium (all of which Davy had isolated himself). However, for the next thirty years, both the -um and -ium endings were used in the scientific literature. Curiously America adopted the -ium for most of the 19th century with aluminium appearing in Webster’s Dictionary of 1828. However Charles Martin Hall selected the -um spelling in an advertising handbill for his new efficient electrolytic method for the production of aluminium, four years after he had patented the process in 1888. Although this spelling may have been an accident, Hall's domination of aluminium production ensured that the -um ending became the standard in North America, even though the Webster Unabridged Dictionary of 1913 continued to use the -ium version. In 1926 the American Chemical Society decided officially to use aluminum in its publications. Meanwhile most of Europe had standardised on the -ium spelling. In 1990 the IUPAC adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element. Aluminium is also the name used in French, Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish; Italian uses alluminio, Portuguese alummnio and Spanish aluminio. (The use of these words in these other languages is one of the reasons IUPAC chose aluminium over aluminum.) In 1993, IUPAC recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant, but still prefers the use of aluminium." -- ._____. |[LD8]!
