In that case, is the bezel ring around the moire made out of aluminum, or aluminium?

I had to watch that video on YouTube so I could take full advantage of the 10 second fast-forward button. Can you adjust the length of the strap? It looks like there might be another hole up toward the top of the tricorder that you could put it in.

You could argue that, but you'd be proving my point. "Noh-ter Dayme" is a university with a football team. "Noh-treh Dahm" is a Gothic cathedral in Paris.
Aluminum here, aluminium if you're a dyed-in-the-wool Redcoat who drives on the wrong side of the road, calls fries chips and chips crisps. Why are we even allies with them?
(BTW, my spell checker keeps trying to convert "aluminium" to "aluminum." I sympathize.)I think the hole you're talking about is the one for the screw that holds on the side panel--if you could use it to add length, I assume Andrew Stockdale would have mentioned it in his Instagram video about changing the strap. If you want it longer, I think you'll need a new strap. I'm expecting to see an aftermarket for that. Keep your eyes on the Junkyard.

OK then, MWAH-ray is a french fabric and MO-ray is a pattern interaction.

Nope. If you're talking about the interference pattern, your choices are accent on the first syllable or the second. Just like in French.

So the video is not worth watching?Yeah, they've got "Damage" in there twice. Not the best phrasing.
Saw that this morning. Terrible video.
His hand keeps triggering his autofocus, the tricorder is half out of the shot much of the time, and he doesn’t even recognize the Engineering Division insignia on the floor of the tricorder--he thinks it’s the Klingon emblem. I never read the comments on these things, but hopefully somebody called him an idiot.
And my biggest pet peeve (everybody does this one, even the venerable Adam Savage): He mispronounces “moiré.” It’s pronounced MWAH-ray, not MO-ray. A moray is an eel. Moiré is a French word originally denoting a type of fabric.

I mean, it's the first one of someone taking it apart. I found it interesting to see how it all fits together and see what's involved in case I ever need to do anything. So for that, it was worth it. I can forgive the auto focus and not knowing what the engineering symbol is.

Hanger!!
Holy crap, I can't believe I missed that! That one usually jumps right out at me since it's so common. Along with the ubiquitous it's/its confusion, subject-verb agreement (even Spock has that problem in TOS), and mispronouncing moiré. Oh, and using "momentarily" to mean "in a moment" instead of "for a moment."
Come to think of it, I have a whole laundry list of grammar and word choice pet peeves...
