# The IUPAC accepted "aluminium" as the standard spelling,
but "aluminum" is 'an accepted variant'.

However, it is sulphur (american), not sulfur (british), so we lost that one.

# well Davy
who discovered it called it alumium first, then changed it to aluminum. It took him 5 years to change it to aluminium and that was only because it was the classical way to name elements and science boffins preferred it (ium)

# Wrong way round.
Sulphur is the British spelling, sulfur is the American version.
