A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I explained the whole naming process. You gotta read it. The US was given the name as Aluminum and did not change it when the British changed it a third time.
But aluminum is nit the original name and you explain that. It's also not the correct way either.
Welcome to ignore. Everyone else understood the discussion ... you are the outlier.
Dude, seriously — say the words in your head as you read them.
Alumium is the original name. You can't explicity say that and then also argue that Aluminum is the original. It's a direct contradiction.
'This just in, new evidence suggests that Tolkien's working title for 'The Lord of the Rings' was 'Guy With Rings Wants to Conquer the World'. According to gmtom - this is what we should call 'The Lord of the Rings' from now on, because it's the original name.'
Edit: stop
Strawman argument. I'm litterally just saying that you can't argue in favour of aluminum by saying its the original name, when aluminum is the original. It's not even about which name is """correct""" it's just about using factually information.
No, it isn't. The best thing you could call it is ad hominem, and even then you'd be wrong.
