Old fashion and modern names for chemicals

Y?

Actually in my "middle" school, sulphur was americanised (americanized) to sulfur. But at upper school it was back to sulphur.

It's only been sorta half heartedly changed to get it in line with the americans. but americans cant spell basically.

Now Philip = Filip
Phone = Fone
...phile = File. So what is the really file?


The list goes on...... and on...... and on.......

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Please, someone tell me that universities use the old names for chemicals and stuff?!?!??!?!?!?!?

I didn't know they actually spell 'phone' as 'fone' - I assumed that was just txt speak lol!
