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.
