Because platinum is also a concept. Nobody has gotten an aluminum record, or an aluminum medal. Some metals have ascended beyond mere utility into superficiality. Aluminium isn’t there yet.
Then we also need to talk about Sodum, Potassum, Magnesum, Plutonum, Uranum, Cadmum, Chromum, Titanum and a bunch more. Why should Aluminum be the outlier?
People always argue that -num isn’t a legitimate way for the name of an element to end, but I never see you guys talking about Platinium.
All words are made up and language isn’t real
