Is it spelled sulfur or sulfur?

Answer:
Technically speaking, sulfur (note that it does NOT begin with a capital unless it is the first word in a sentence) is correct. 'Sulfur' is the international chemical term recommended by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). The traditional spelling 'sulphur' is still widely used; 'sulfur' is not common outside the USA except in scientific writing.
