      SPELT?

      You have no room to speak. It's "spelled". Hooked on phonics did /not/ work for you!

      Actually, spelt is an acceptable alternative to spelled, as is dreamt to dreamed.

      Shit. There goes the language. Same with snuck and sneaked I guess.

      For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
      Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

      I did some looking and if spelt was a word (in the verb sense) then there should also be "misspelt". However according to M-W, it "misspelt" does not exist. Therefore I reject the "misspelt" as a misspelled word. This is akin to my rejection of "characteristicks" (the George Washington spelling)
