It confused me a bit when reading the Mistborn series. Wtf is aluminum and why have i never heard of that? Do they just call Aluminium differently because of story reasons? Did i miss something? Are the other metals correct?
Good books tho
Like in the tv shows when they say "epinephrine", and I was like wtf is that? for years.
And later on with the amazing metal called tungsten. Why have I never heard of it?
(Its andrenaline and wolfram)
Acetaminophen / Paracetamol is probably the one I see the most.
