      Is this just a typo, or, as in the case of Aluminum versus Aluminium (or       Columbium       versus Niobium, and Wolfram versus Tungsten) did anyone ever actually propose       that       this is how the name of that particular element (a rare earth, whose chief       claim       to fame is having an accessibly low Curie temperature, so that it's easy to       turn       its ferromagnetism on and off in the lab) actually _should_ be spelled?              John Savard              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
