They call aluminium 'aluminum'. That's easier to say, I admit = one less syllable. Though it smacks of laziness too like your sulfur example. I suggest we all let them get on with it. We can carry on with our sulphur and aluminium as usual and pretend we agree. I will get a thrill of subversiveness in crossing any new spellings out on the pots at work and rewriting them.
