It's a bit of a tradition for everyone to think it's pronounced "wee-jee" but learn it's actually "wee-yah".

But we need to unite against the real linguistic monsters; people who mispronounce "aluminium" as "aluminum"; it's an element isolated in the 19th century, it's a metal, so it should end with "-ium".

@CorruptUser It was originally called "Alumium", but people asked for the name to be changed to something more latin. So, the inventor first changed it to "Aluminum". It was later changed again to "Aluminium". America decided to go with the first correction, while Europe chose to accept the second.

Besides, what is wrong with Aluminum? Platinum, Lanthanum, and Molybdenum already exist, and you guys aren't fighting to shove an "ium" on those. And, you aren't calling for adding "ium" to Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, et al.

Really? As a USAin I can say I've never known anyone who didn't know it was the "Yes-Yes" game. Even complete idiots knew oui and ja were yes and yes.

Okay, maybe not the extremely religious who think it's the "devil steals your soul board"...

Apparently that's just an urban legend.

"The popular belief that the word Ouija comes from the French and German words for yes is a misconception. The name is taken from a word spelled out on the board when its inventor asked a supposed ghost to name it."
