That one tilts me more than any mispronunciation, they actually spell it this way. It's like who the fuck calls a sidewalk "pavement"?

I know the full history behind the word, and neither are what the guy who discovered the compound originally called it. He couldn't make up his mind, and due to American superiority, we ultimately decided for him. The -num reigns supreme.

i got some tea to spill yall...
beyonce's entire creative department is white.
February 10, 2016: SkatzPoker.com spoke with a person that was ASSOCIATED with Beyonce's management team . . . and they gave us THEIR INSIGHT . . . on what is really going on BEHIND THE SCENES. And from what we've been told . . . it's a complete DISASTER!!!
First off, you'll recall that NY Post's PAGE SIX reported that Bey's entire management team was fired . . . well Skatzpoker.com has EXCLUSIVELY LEARNED that according to one member of Bey's former team, they "QUIT." The insider explained, "People started to quit in September and by December [her most trusted employees] quit."
And the tea on her album is just as interesting. The insider explained, "Her album was supposed to come out on Tidal after the Super Bowl but after Rihanna's album failed on Tidal, she pulled it, as she is afraid to see her album fail and didn't trust the Roc Nation/Tidal group to not leak her album like they did Rihanna."
Oh, and it gets more interesting. The insider added, "It was also brought to my attention that although Beyonce's new song is all about black empowerment, her team from creative to current and former management is 99% white."
Now we don't know who to believe . . . but Bey got some ISSUES she gotta handle.
