I still don't get what's wrong with "internet".. you think their dictionary would be updated enough to include it :).Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639879112148818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-54883124550245317592009-06-18T08:50:10.761+02:002009-06-18T08:50:10.761+02:00Blogger is American, and the American word for the...Blogger is American, and the American word for the past tense (and past participle) of "spell" is "spelled" — though some of us... um... older folks still use "spelt" (along with "leapt", "dreamt", "smelt", and "clept" (OK, not that last, except when we're being archaic on purpose)).<br /><br />Interestingly, there <i>are</i> some "-t" past tenses that remain in use in the States, and that remain the only acceptable ones. "Wept" and "felt" come to mind; "weeped" and "feeled" are simply wrong.<br /><br />It's also interesting that Blogger's dictionary doesn't like "spelt", even so, because it's a perfectly valid noun: it's a type of wheat.Barry Leibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205294935881991457noreply@blogger.com
