So... Sulfur or Sulphur?

Sulphur.

That's how I learnt it in school/college.

I'm not sure I've ever spelled it before in my life for anything. I would spell it however spell check corrects it to after I spell it incorrectly. :P

Hydrogen Sulphide.

I think you got screwed for spelling it that way. I'm a chemistry professor and I would have marked it correct "sulfur" and "sulphur". I know that other countries spell differently.

And for me it's sulfur.

The UK only spelled it with a PH since the 14th century.

I have to go with what IUPAC says, sulfur is correct.

With a ph.

Sulphur, although I would have accepted either were I a professor.

He made you sulfur for your sins.

Can we do a few puns, I'm alright at that y'know?

It's Sulfer down here in Alabamer.

I always spell it as Sulphur. Then again I'm a citizen of a former British Imperial colony, and I learnt my chem through a British-based international "high school" programme.

Sulphur. Next thing you know you'll be getting points deducted for calling a "." a "full stop", spelling "neighbour", "colour" and "Aluminium" ... A professor should realise the differences between British English and the other stuff I care-not for.

Sulphur. Got used to the spelling in school.

Technically It should be SULFER nowadays, but americans should also be able to say aluminum correctly but they cant so why should we changeWolls

Lolwut? What are you supposed to pronounce aluminum, ALIIMINIUUUM?

Sulpher, because I know how to spell:P

"Sulphur." Despite being born in America, and thus learning English in America, I tend to stick with the "British English" versions of words.
