I did. Aluminium was not chosen by Davy. No need to get so hostile over literally an i.

A January 1811 summary of one of Davy's lectures at the Royal Society mentioned the name aluminium as a possibility.[115] The following year, Davy published a chemistry textbook in which he used the spelling aluminum.[116] Both spellings have coexisted since.

In 1812, British scientist Thomas Young[118] wrote an anonymous review of Davy's book, in which he proposed the name aluminium instead of aluminum, which he felt had a "less classical sound".[119] This name did catch on: while the -um spelling was occasionally used in Britain, the American scientific language used -ium from the start.[120] Most scientists used -ium throughout the world in the 19th century,[117] and it was entrenched in many other European languages, such as French, German, or Dutch.[l] In 1828, American lexicographer Noah Webster used exclusively the aluminum spelling in his American Dictionary of the English Language.[121] In the 1830s, the -um spelling started to gain usage in the United States; by the 1860s, it had become the more common spelling there outside science.[120] In 1892, Hall used the -um spelling in his advertising handbill for his new electrolytic method of producing the metal, despite his constant use of the -ium spelling in all the patents he filed between 1886 and 1903. It remains unknown whether this spelling was introduced by mistake or intentionally; however, Hall preferred aluminum since its introduction because it resembled platinum, the name of a prestigious metal.[122] By 1890, both spellings had been common in the U.S. overall, the -ium spelling being slightly more common; by 1895, the situation had reversed; by 1900, aluminum had become twice as common as aluminium; during the following decade, the -um spelling dominated American usage. In 1925, the American Chemical Society adopted this spelling.[117]
