If you raise it via a Feedback, you might find IBM would agree with you and clarify things in the docs. |

No, no problem.
I was attempting to differentiate between documented outcomes (how things work) and undocumented methods of accomplishing those outcomes.

"...spelt out in full: ..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelt
Or is that Alabamaese for 'spelled' ...

Interesting.
Searched and found others similar: burn, learn, smell*, spill*, spoil
All can end -ed or -t.
(For items marked * then one "l" must be removed for the -t version).
To my mind, the -ed version emphasizes the verb to which it attaches. And the -t version emphasizes the ending state, the verb having been enacted.
But I am no scholar of English.
Thanks for mentioning it - I really learn[ed|t] something today.  |

...and all the while, I was thinking mvic was using the Yiddish word "shpelt" meaning money...

I think only below the Mason/Dixon line. Or maybe Western West Virginia.

I like that ... you will have to give me the name of that conjugation tense !
Otherwise I think it is just an alternative spelling for the 'ed' word.
Actually I learnt something ... I didn't even think it was an accepted alternative spelling .. 
Have a Merry Christmas, or whatever relevant holiday season !

And the same to you, sir. 
Oh, and the point about alternative spelling is fair enough. The online dictionaries do agree with you, there. I was just suggesting how things work out in my head. No-one else need agree with me..  |

Can somebody clarify this for me?
I have in my mind that the differentiation might be more of an accepted subtlety:
You would use spelled preferably when alluding to witchcraft, like I've been spelled but never use I've been spelt unless you meant a form/tense of spelling... and if you don't care about either just use spelled.
