That's because there's an 'i' in there. Why don't you try reading?

I like how the Japanese actually call it Natrium instead of Sodium, you know because that's what the Na stood for. Don't get me started on Aurum, Argentium, or Plumbum. My mother's foreign students use such words for the elements and wonder why we call them Gold, Silver, and Lead- so confusing!

Speaking of being confused, why does the name Richard become Dick? 
In my brother's case, he was actually named Richard just so he could be called Dick.
You see, when my dad was born, his older brother didn't like the name Bradley and refused to call him Bradley. He insisted upon calling him Dick. When my parents had their firstborn son, they wanted - for some godawful reason - to pass on the nickname. They named him Richard so he could be called Dick without people looking at you like you're retarded.
Dick's wife - and the entire staff at the company they own - call him Richard. When they first started dating, she called the house once and asked for "Rick". My siblings and I (because we've always been assholes) refused to put him on the line because his name isn't Rick.
