It depends whether you're English or American. Spelt is English.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Spelt is also a grain, a variant of wheat.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, one of the earliest cultivars

Spelt is not proper English.

Edit: I retract Collins as a trustworthy source.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Of course it is!

Are you not aware of the different forms of English? There are several differences between American English and British English, "spelled" and "spelt" being one example.

Collins and Merriam-Webster are both American English dictionaries, and the Oxford English Dictionary is a British English dictionary.

Smelled or smelt?

He who smelt it delt it.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Smelt is a family of fishes.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Isn't spelt, like an ocean minnow?

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That’s the grain with the P. It’s a family of fish, smelt.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I smelt it.
