Most European languages call it natrium. Almost all African languages call it sodium. Of course amerimutts align with the latter.

Only zoomers think speaking English is smart. Actual smart people know it's a plebeian language. For a smart language we Europeans learn Arabic and Turkish.

It's actually called Natrium where I live. However, we fucked up silicon by calling it 'silicium' like we're still assuming it's a metal.

>>15235345
Naming silicon like it's a metal is way less embarrassing than naming helium like it's a metal
