You forgot sedan = saloon. I also like the "english" way of saying coupé (coop-pay).

Note on Naming: Sir Humphry Davy proposed the name aluminum for the metal, however, the name aluminium was adopted to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. This spelling is in use in most countries. Aluminium was also the spelling in the U.S. until 1925, when the American Chemical Society officially decided to use the name aluminum instead.

I do have a few Asian friends that pronounce it with the silent e, but they have been in the states for several years now and we may have tainted them
