Talk:Eolianite

eolinite
Eolianite is the English spelling for eolinite. Crazy Brits put an 'A' in places they don't belong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.169.113.76 (talk) 00:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Er, no. The Brit spelling is "aeolianite" from "aeolian" - pertaining to wind (from the Greek) which is derived from Aeolus - keeper of the winds - with the adjectival ending -ian. North Americans can't cope with the diphthong ae so drop the a at the beginning, and spell it eolianite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.218.200 (talk) 17:20, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
