The "spelt" spelling might well not be used so much in the
good
ol' USA these days, Josh, -- even though it's still included
in
your very own Webster's.

But you'll find that most of us oldies prefer the original
usage -- i.e., we prefer to write it as it was and still is
pronounced by us.

Hope that helps.


Looks kind of grainy that way.

Yeah, but who'd wanna eat *that* kind of wheat eh? (Good
comeback, though, Paula)
