I've yet to hear an Englishman pronounce "aluminum" correctly. Someday those foreigners will catch on and start using proper English.
If only you would spell words corectly you would have much less trouble pronouncing them. You guys say the word the way you spell it but the corect spelling is aluminium and then the pronounciation is easily comprehended.

Junior class play:
The Family Nobody Wanted - one of the lines was, "We're all out of aluminum paint." The girl could not pronounce the word aluminum - usually came out something like "amoolium". The director finally wrote to the company that owned the play and got written permission to change it to silver paint of which we were out.
Also, one has to be from Buena Vista County, Iowa, or a county in close proximity thereto in order to understand that the correct pronunciation is "Bew(rhymes with new)-nuh Vist(rhymes with list)-uh.
