Cool video, I like How It's Made, I wish they would do one on flocked weather stripping. Definitely a regional dialect but I can't place it. How she says "about" seem a little off also. I know in PA, it seems to be about 20% of the people I know pronounce Radiator this way. Could this be a New England regional dialect? Pennsylvania seems to be a conglomeration of several dialects because we're between the Midwest, North East, and to a lesser extend, the South. Throw in Pittsburgh and some Philly but those are their own dialect.

That's a Canadian show and that is why it's pronounced that way. I've watched quite a few episodes, it's a good show.

Note how she pronounces "out" and "about". Not quite the heavy Canuck accent that you sometimes hear, but still there. Eh?

Actually, al you minnie um is the proper pronunciation as the British invented it and we changed the pronunciation.

Throw in Pittsburgh

Pittsburghese: nouns

One of the best shows ever! Yep, she's Canadian. Typically they drop a few cheesy puns throughout the presentation, and almost always one right at the end. This one didn't have any, odd.

Yes, one of my favorites also.

Good ol' copper and brass, can't beat it.

She also pronounces asphalt as "Ash-fault"...

The only person I know to pronounce radiator that was was my friends late grandfather who was originally from West Virginia. So to me it sounds out of place with a female voice saying it that way.

Nothing unusual with the pronunciation of either word for me.

Julie says she'll sleep better knowing this vital information. She thought the lady's voice was brassy, I thought it was cool...
Tanks a lot!

I don't want to disagree with you John, but from all the English cars I have and being on a lot their forums, I believe they pronounce it that way because that's how it's written as one of the elements in the periodic tables. My wife, who's Puerto Rican, also says that's how it's supposed to be pronounced, but what does she know!

n 1812, British scientist Thomas Young wrote an anonymous review of Davy's book, in which he objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium: "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound." This name did catch on: while the -um spelling was occasionally used in Britain, the American scientific language used -ium from the start. Most scientists used -ium throughout the world in the 19th century; it still remains the standard in most other languages.

#13 is the element in question. Aluminium was added to the table in 1825
