I'm going to start a campaign to put the "ph" back into sulphur.

and the u back into colour.

er - it's still there...

"sulfur" is the new official english scientific spelling since a decade
or two ago - apparently.


I'm not sure such merkanisms are official, but more likely the fault of
MS Word.

The names are decided by international comities.

WTF is a comitie?

The name for sulfur doesn't have ph in it any more, but that metal

Sulphur isn't a metal.

is
spelt aluminium now.

And it isn't spelt aluminium. It's spelt sulphur.
