[Facts] We use spelt here instead of spelled (m)
Spelled looks really strange and wrong to me. We also say spoilt instead of spoiled.

Properly, we Americans use -ed, but I often use -t 'cause I think it looks nicer, for I've grown up reading King James English and Tolkein. Sometimes it takes me a minute to adjust to speaking Modern English! Quite regularly I find that SpellCheck throws a fit over my random mixture of American, British, and Old English.
