It depends whether you're English or American. Spelt is English.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Spelt is also a grain, a variant of wheat.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, one of the earliest cultivars

Spelt is not proper English.

Edit: I retract Collins as a trustworthy source.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Of course it is!

Smelled or smelt?

He who smelt it delt it.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Smelt is a family of fishes.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Burned or Burnt?

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Isn't spelt, like an ocean minnow?

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That’s the grain with the P. It’s a family of fish, smelt.
