  • The Merriam-Webster Dictionary labels the spelling sulphur as chiefly British but contradicts this in the same entry's usage note by saying that both spellings are common in general usage in American English. The usage note also ignores the modern widespread British usage of the spelling sulfur in scientific and technical usage (reported e.g. by the Oxford Dictionaries): "The spelling sulfur predominates in United States technical usage, while both sulfur and sulphur are common in general usage. British usage tends to favor sulphur for all applications. The same pattern is seen in most of the words derived from sulfur." Usage note, Merriam-Webster Online. . Retrieved 1 January 2008. The usage note in the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary is more up to date: "The spelling sulfur now predominates in U.S. technical and general usage. British usage still tends to favor sulphur, but use of that spelling has decreased dramatically in recent decades and continues to do so. The growing preference for sulfur on both sides of the Atlantic is no doubt encouraged by the recommendations of the Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and other organizations. The same pattern is seen in most of the words derived from sulfur." Usage note from the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.
