To solve this problem i propose we spell it "Solfa" That way we equally offend
everyone with terrible spelling and there are no losers.... or winners ;-)
Yes it is a slow day at work....

Subject: Sulfur/Sulphur:Correct spelling of Element 16
Just to complicate things further - a scan of the current Clements list of
birds of the world gave:
Sulphur-winged Parakeet, Yellow-crested Cockatoo C. sulphurea,
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Yellow-throated Tinkerbird P. subsulphureus,
Sulphur-bearded Spinetail C. sulphurifera, Sulphur-bellied Tyrant-Manakin
N. sulphureiventer, Sulphur-bellied Tyrannulet, Yellow-olive Flycatcher T.
sulphurescens, Sulphur-rumped Flycatcher M. sulphureipygius, Sulphury
Flycatcher T. sulphurea, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Great Kiskadee P.
sulphuratus, Golden-bellied Gerygone G. sulphurea, Sulphur-bellied Whistler
P. sulfuriventer, Sulphur-breasted Bushshrike T. sulfureopectus,
Sulphur-billed Nuthatch S. oenochlamys, Sulphur-bellied Bulbul I.
palawanensis, Sulphur-bellied Warbler, Sulphur-breasted Warbler, Brimstone
Canary S. sulphuratus, Yellow Bunting E. sulphurata, Sulphur-rumped
Tanager, and Sulphur-throated Finch.
However, there is also:
Keel-billed Toucan R. sulfuratus, Sulphur-bellied Whistler P.
sulfuriventer, and Sulphur-breasted Bushshrike T. sulfureopectus. [All
scientific names and two in both lists]
One of those birds is on the US list. Google gives 3640 hits for
Sulphur-bellied flycatcher, 58 for Sulfur-bellied flycatcher.
"A rose by ...."
The only thing I conclude to this is that it is time I went back to South
America.
With apologies
