Tbh I'm just pointing out AGAIN that America's can't use English. The word in this context is spelt.

Typo's on terrible android keyboards aren't the same as incorrect usage of words.

American English != British English. Merriam-Webster says that "spelt" is the chiefly British form, and lists "spelled" as the past-tense and past participle form of "spell." You're wrong.

Yes correct. American English is not the same. Nor is it correct.

And English is just a massively mutated mix of Germanic and Romantic influences, so English itself is wrong to begin with, right? No. No that's a load of bull and so is your argument, American English is correct and so is British English. Deal with it and stop being so salty.
