This is priceless.  A Scot living in Cyprus, supports an American telling 

an Englishman that his English is wrong.  I am framing this one.

Re: [TN] NTC













The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry decreed 'sulfur' 

in 1990, as did the very British Royal Society of Chemistry Nomenclature 

Committee in 1992 and the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for 

England and Wales recommended its use in 2000.



If the RSC say 'sulfur', that is good enough for me and I have used that 

orthography for at least a dozen years. The name comes from Latin, not 

Greek, so the 'ph' phoneme is etymologically incorrect. The Greek word 

for sulfur is 'θείον' which you can see bears no relation to the 

Latin/English words. Oxford (which accepts both spellings for all 

meanings) gives the etymology as [Anglo-Norman sulf(e)re, Old French 

soufre from Latin sulfur, -phur, -pur, perh. rel. to the Germanic word 

repr. by Old English swef(e)l.] Sulfur is good enough for me!
