Most of it has some kind of linguistic basis though, like Aluminum just being what aluminium was called by its inventor / discoverer (?) at the time of it first being shipped over to the States, before he changed the name to make it fit in better with other elemental names. So it's still technically correct, and has a history deeper than just 'Latin, Greek, same shit'

Doesn't stop it from being factually a misnomer though, does it?

Unlike a lot of Brits, I have a fondness for American English. The way that it's developed alongside British English is fascinating, and some of the state colloquialisms are really weird and vivid
