    “Aluminum” at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say “foil.” What else would I be talking about in that context?

      a·lu·mi·num

      tin·foil

      (Sorry for the ‘ackshully’, but couldn’t resist.)

              Fair enough. I didn’t read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to ‘aluminum’ versus ‘tinfoil’.

          Didn’t even realize that was a word until I looked it up.

          the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal.

          Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not.

          I’m sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p

            The successor to tin foil is aluminum foil. “Aluminum” is called “aluminium” in English-speaking countries outside the US.

              Oh there we go, okay that explains it.

              Yeah you guys on the other side of the pond like using extra letters in your words like ‘colour’. :p
