Spelling and etymology

The element has traditionally been spelled sulphur in the United Kingdom (since the 14th Century),[3] most of the Commonwealth including India, Malaysia, South Africa, and Hong Kong, along with the rest of the Caribbean and Ireland, but sulfur in the United States, while both spellings are used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines. IUPAC adopted the spelling “sulfur” in 1990, as did the Royal Society of Chemistry Nomenclature Committee in 1992[4] and the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for England and Wales recommended its use in 2000.[5]

In Latin, the word is variously written sulpur, sulphur, and sulfur (the Oxford Latin Dictionary lists the spellings in this order). It is an original Latin name and not a Classical Greek loan, so the ph variant does not denote the Greek letter φ. Sulfur in Greek is thion (θείον), whence comes the prefix thio-. The simplification of the Latin words p or ph to an f appears to have taken place towards the end of the classical period, with the f spelling becoming dominant in the medieval period.[6][7

Sulphur is the term in BI and sulfur is the term in BM.  In PPSMI, we use the term 'sulphur' and not 'sulfur'.  The version of Periodic Table that you use maybe in BM version ... Refer back...
