Burn Burnt OR burned


I would probably write:

"I burned the cupcakes."

"The cupcakes are burnt."

Hmm.


Dream dreamt OR dreamed


I generally use dreamt.

But now it looks funny.

Dreamt, dreamt, dreamt. Ack!


Lean leant OR leaned
Learn learnt OR learned


"ed"


Smell smelt OR smelled


Never smelt. Isn't it something else? Looks weird.


Spell spelt OR spelled
Spill spilt OR spilled


"Spilt milk" looks right. But any other beverages are spilled.


Spoil spoilt OR spoiled


Spoiled.

I'm so inconsistent!
