Aluminum is the way to say it, because the British themselves frequently fail to even pronounce their own language right. "Saw" sounds like "soar," for anyone with a heavy British accent. Even if the rest of the world uses aluminium, they also use grams/kilograms as a measure of weight, which is completely wrong. Grams are a measure of mass, which is directly related to weight (at least while on earth or near another source of gravity), but they're very different. Things to not weigh 20 kilograms, they have a mass of 20 kilograms. Granted, most of us Americans can't pronounce the English language properly, but try visiting the American NW (Washington and Oregon). Most of us pronounce English properly.
If I offended anyone, I'm sorry, but I haven't said anything much worse than some of the stuff that's been said. Besides, I can take it when people say bad things about Americans (as long as it's not overpoweringly offensive and blatantly arrogant).
