    AH>           And yes, Bj”rn, I agree with you too that "spelt" is quite   
    AH> correct as the past participle of "spell" or as a variety of wheat...   
    AH> [wry grin].

   Here are some legitimate uses of the word spell. She sat a spell and   
   smelled the roses. Tim went down to the steel mill to see if they had   
   smelt any iron ore yet. This is an English Tutor help echo and you have   
   spelt Bear incorrectly.   
      
      
       Have a day!
