So, if everyone voted for spelt, would that make it right?

wow, i'm confused. are you asking how to spell, spelt? or spelled? I guess it depends on how you want to use the word. man, this english lanuage is so fvcked up

 

[x04d DaY]

They're both words. What the hell kind of poll is this?

 

[Mrvile]

It's really spelled, but I like using spelt cuz it's a bit easier to say. Kinda like kilt.

"I kilt him!"

 

[Cheezeit]

uh, okay

They - Are - Both - Words!!!

Verb past tenses with -t: Commonwealth dreamt, leapt, learnt, spelt; American dreamed, leaped, learned, spelled. As with the "tre" words, the t endings are occasionally found in American texts. The forms with -ed are also common in Commonwealth usage, and preferred by many as they are weak verbs. (The two-syllable form learnèd /'l??n?d/, usually spelled simply as learned, is still used to mean "educated", or to refer to academic institutions, in both British English and American English.)

Spelt is a grain.

[BigToque]

I did not realize that spelt was even a word.

First definition is a type of wheat. Second one says it's a British variant of spelled.
