Note
A plural that only the countable use of the noun can produce: the metal itself takes no plural, but distinct grades or alloys do. The spelling marks American, Canadian and Philippine usage; writers who follow the aluminium spelling form the plural aluminiums instead. Either way, the singular mass noun remains the everyday choice, and the plural belongs to technical writing about types.
