    I will never accept spelt nor smelt, unless we’re talking about grains and ore refining, respectively.

      That’s fine. Spelled vs spelt is different regionally in the UK. I was taught “spelled”, I say it as spelled, but more often than not I type it spelt because it’s easier on a glass keyboard

        Hahaha I can respect that. I do have a pretty big chip on my shoulder when it comes to language, semantics, syntax, whatever, but I will always let it slide if the counter argument is based around instrumental favorability.
