1. misspelt
Yet another example of a 'strong verb' past form. It is the past
tense and past participle of misspell. Apart from dialectal
preferences, it is equal in meaning to the form misspell in all ways.
British English shows a preference for retaining strong verb forms
(burnt, learnt, spelt, dreamt, spoilt etc). American English shows a
preference for ignora... I'm mean simplification (burned, learned
etc).
FROM: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.....
Spelt is also the simple past tense and past participle
of the verb to spell.
