Judge: This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin. And it still says guilty. And guilty is spelled wrong.
 
It's the accepted version in US English.
Pretty sure we're still a part of the Commonwealth and were colonised by the British. At least that's what I learned learnt at school.

Spelled is still acceptable though.
This is correct. Either spelling is acceptable in correct English. The fact that America have chosen to recognize just one of the options is irrelevant.

The old family Oxford dictionary, printed in Great Britain in 1959 has the following entry ....

spell, v.t. (spelt or ~ed pr. -lt)
Which means the past participle of spell can be either spelt or spelled.

What in the actual **** has happened to this thread :drunk:

What in the actual * makes no sense whatsoever :drunk:
