okay I looked it up on MW and Davy originally called it Alumium before he switched to Aluminum a couple years later, but another scientist decided in that time that "actually it should be aluminium"
so it depends on if you're looking at the original namer or not. but all the spellings are British.

I thought aluminum was first, and then the namer went "ah damn I forgot the 'i'" and renamed it. but it was too late, and we yanks had already latched into the original "mistake"
but it's been a minute since I jumped down that rabbit hole

hot take: absolutely start with the first season of tng. yeah, it’s cringe at times, but by golly will you miss out if you skip it. you gotta let the show grow its beard (trope namer) to really let the show get its hooks into you. tho do skip it if it’s gonna make you drop the show entirely.

First it was, “Machine Learning (ML).”
Then “Large Language Models (LLM).”
Finally, the marketing mavens dubbed it,
“Artificial Intelligence (AI).”
Now, our Namer-In-Chief wants it called
“Super Intelligence (SI).”
But, for many American males, SI holds a special place in
The Pantheon of Acronyms.

I am running through #StarTrek TOS episodes as TTRPG plots. The player of our captain decided to play Mary Sue, Youngest Captain In Starfleet. Among other reasons why it's the best, the trope namer is from a Star Trek fanzine, which is so perfect.

Ok - I did not know that Herbert Biberman was a Penn grad!
I have Penn alums now on 3 sides of HUAC: Hollywood Ten; Name Namer; Corrupt Committee Chair (J Parnell Thomas!).
Nothing major for most readers - but very interesting for me as an alum!

I was ill so my buddies, Mark (co-founder and namer of DD) and his bro Evan, who had never done an interview, somehow got to the dressing room. Iggy was having a wee bit of fun with my rather naive buddies. Ron was far more serious ... and bitter.

I also really appreciate how magic on true names work in this world.
Lots of times, like in the Gentleman Bastard series, it feels like, either your society's gotta operate by paranoid "only your namer knows your true name" rules, or it's a society of chumps just waiting to be magically fucked up.
