I failed a science exam in my third year of senior school, because I wrote we use silver foil to wrap a chicken to cook it- I didn't know its proper name was aluminium foil! I'm not bitter about this at all!!
This is for Northy's mundane thing- it's silver and gold (coloured - obvs as I now know better) foil from a chocolate bar wrapper.
The only reasons we make mistakes are so we can learn. And look at you so many years later still knowing the difference between silver foil and aluminum foil. I would say you learned it very well. Not only that but you got a fabulous photo out of it as well
@salza cos they lost that I, no crunchie today @randystreat who knew the foil is embossed?! @grammyn I think cost is an issue too?! @dutchothotmailcom thank you
My pleadure, I channelled my inner @northy as best I could?! @marlboromaam all natural bokeh too!!!
@salza The original English spelling was aluminum but Victorian scientist decided to bring it into line with the other metals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium etc and changed the spelling to aluminium. So I guess as US/Canadian English is based on 18th century English they are as correct as we are! or not!
@davemockford Dave thanks for the interesting information. I never knew that. I have always known it as aluminium so took that as a given.
