It confused me a bit when reading the Mistborn series. Wtf is aluminum and why have i never heard of that? Do they just call Aluminium differently because of story reasons? Did i miss something? Are the other metals correct?
Good books tho
-
Aluminum is the original name for the element. It was changed to be more in line with the others in its group.
-
Like in the tv shows when they say "epinephrine", and I was like wtf is that? for years.
And later on with the amazing metal called tungsten. Why have I never heard of it?
(Its andrenaline and wolfram)
-
Acetaminophen / Paracetamol is probably the one I see the most.
-
Wait until you learn why it's called epinephrine. Then you'll really roll your eyes.
-
I know.. And I did. I mean it's called the andrenal gland! How did they even allow it?

Bendalloy is a commercial name, which is for the best because we'd hate for Wayne to burn Wood's metal
