I like to mix it up, eh. My wife likes to watch those Lifetime network movies. I heard one of the actors slip and let his Canadian accent be heard. I caught it and told her the movie was filmed in Canada. It was. Then I discovered they ALL are.

As they should, the original discoverer didn't think. Convention wins out. Otherwise we'd have sodum, calcum, potassum, lithum, barum, titanum, uranum etc. English is confusing enough to begin with.
