Hi, John!
I've always spelled it olefin. Google gives 7,680 hits for the "ph" spelling and 14,000,000 for the "f" variant. One online dictionary gives the derivation as "[from French oléfiant, ultimately from Latin oleum oil + facere to make]", so I believe I'll continue to use the "f" spelling.
Still, as Ol' Hickory supposedly said, "It's a poor speller that can only spell a word one way."
Regards,
Frank
As you can see, spelling was never a strong point in my education. At least I can do a better job spelling sulphur!
