    There is a "y" in "my" so maybe "Sphinx" would complete the sentence?

    The fuck happened with that one. Its literally the same word, this isnt an aluminum vs aliminium situation where the namer was a fuck up and called it both so people flipped a coin. Fucking English spelling is ratfucked.

    No one has ever proposed "aliminium" for the name of the element.

    "Alumium" was the original, "Aluminum" and "Aluminium" were battled in American and British journals.

    The -ium ending is the standard naming convention for elements, e.g., plutonium, natrium, kalium.

    I spelt 'sphynx' (sphinx) wrong, it's saved that way in my phone for some reason and I wasn't paying attention.

    Edit: Ah, yep just saw that comment with the cats. It's because of cats.

    You most definitely do your own research.

    Edit: This person was very right I was just joking jeez.

    I even catch myself doing it out loud, on the rare occasion the word comes up.

    Fucking brilliant show. Still need to watch the film but part of me feels like doing so is admitting it's over, so I'm going to keep putting it off for a bit I think.
