My husband constantly refers to aluminum foil as tin foil and it's one of the elements of our relationship that periodically makes me want to divorce him.

in reply to Freshwuzhere • • •@Freshwuzhere @intothewestaway America has done a LOT of things wrong, but just because the rest of the world has decided to mispronounce/misspell the name given by the discoverer of aluminum doesn't mean we need to follow suit.
That being said, I don’t give AF about what the inventor of the gif says, I am NOT saying it like jif.

in reply to Alice McFlurry • • •well, I use both terms. Does that make me bifoil?
Also, we don't say aluminum foil hat, unless you use the British pronunciation of aluminum, then it's okay. 😄

I grew up hearing foil pronounced like someone with a Jersey accent says "fall."

Some accents I've found impossible to describe phonetically. Wisconsin, for example.

in reply to Ko Simon toku ingoa • • •@SimonCHulse The metal foil in question hasn't been made from tin since the early 20th century. It's made from aluminum/aluminium.
I guess unless NZ is still trying to use up some VERY old stock. Or maybe NZ is flush with tin reserves and it's actually cheaper to make the foil out of tin over there. But ours is definitely made from aluminum.

My brother-in-law had one of these in his Mercedes, late 1980s. Mostly to crack Gordon Gecko jokes with his friends, I think.
