Aluminum or Al, as dictated on the periodic table of elements, which is the most credibly internationally agreed upon source.

No. It doesn't.
The periodic table of elements is internationally agreed upon and all names derive from latin origins to ensure they are able to be used internationally.

| Depends whether you're descriptivist or prescriptivist. Either way, aluminum is never the sole correct answer. |

No. They don't.
Chemists actually prefer to use the formula, as that can be read in any language.
A formula such as AlPO4 (Not a real compound) would be used as a label, rather than "Aluminium" or "Aluminum".

Aluminium - British Aluminum - American There is no universal spelling for it, you'd use aluminum in a school/college based on the American system, and aluminium in a school/college based on the British system. I can confirm this, as I am in a school that follows the British system, and uses aluminium, and the school next to mine(where some of my friends go) uses aluminum. Chemists/scientists don't have a universal agreement on the name(yet), unlike the SI units. |
