Sulphur is an awesome name! It's interesting that they decided to use the old name of the element, spelt with a ph rather than an f.


ph is the correct spelling for real English and scientific usage...

And when I type sulphur my Mozilla Thunderbird spell check offers sulfur! I knew it had changed sometime over the last fifty or sixty years.



No. "Sulfur" is an American spelling; you are using Thunderbird's American dictionary. It is suggesting to me that I should change to sulphur.
