Errrr ........ no, not really.
Spelled and Spelt
The
verb to spell most commonly means
to write or name the letters that form (a word) in correct sequence.
To spell is one of those verbs with both an
irregular form and a
regular form. (See the table below for some others.) The
past tense and the
past participle can be written as either
spelled or
spelt. However, they are not interchangeable, especially in the US.
Americans Demand Spelled
In America,
spelled dominates. The use of
spelt as the past tense or past participle of
to spell is considered a spelling mistake by many. It will certainly annoy a fair proportion of your readers.
Brits Prefer Spelt
Outside America,
spelt is more common, but
spelled is generally accepted. (This is almost certainly a result of American influence spreading.)
Misspelled and Misspelt
It's the same with
misspelled and
misspelt. Americans demand
misspelled (and Brits will accept it). However, Brits prefer
misspelt.
