    Trolling should not be confused with flame warring or cyber bullying.

    I have to say that though I spoke in favor of likes in the aforementioned post, I've actually grown used to not having them and like things as they are now.

    Such a system would only be fair if mistakes were penalized, and authenticity, and justness rewarded... so, you know, if anyone besides me gets liked, then something is wrong with the world.

    No point talking about it any more, 80% of people dislike it for absurd, irrational and blatantly stupid reasons of which I will not go in to, not because I am not intelligent enough... just because errr I dont have the time.

    Both are common in British English, as reflected in dictionaries such as Oxford's, and to me "spelled" is better anyway.

    Spelldid, as in I done spelldid it damnit. It's Appalachian, coming from the overuse of the to do verb of the Celtic settlers I think. I done heard it plenty round here. It's also precious 3 year old speak. Any linguists here that can comment on this?

    That may be so, but after having gone through the results of a Google search, most of the results affirm that "misspelt" is the preference, or more appropriate, or more usual, in the UK, where it originates. It is also my preference; it just sounds better and more natural and appropriate to me.

    Although, that said, I'm also rather fond of "spelldid". It reminds me of one of my favourite words: "happeded". As in, "Dang it! It done happeded again! I done spelldid that there wurd wrongly!".

    I don't agree that it's more appropriate, and otherwise what you're saying doesn't go against my point.

    Also I'm not sure how to pronounce "happeded".

    Meh. If not more appropriate, then preferable or usual. And as for your point, I kind of acknowledged it.

    Also I'm not sure how to pronounce "happeded".jamalrob

    Well, it was coined by @Lower Case NUMBERS, so I guess you should ask him. :D

    More preferable, I suppose, for the people who prefer it. Even if "spelled" is less common than "spelt" in British English, it is common enough that it is not unconventional or non-standard. Similarly, "-ize" endings have become less common in British English but are still treated as standard British English by the Oxford and Collins dictionaries, in which "-ize" spellings appear first (see Oxford spelling).

    As you can tell, I'm not letting this one go. X-)

    I don't have anything to do with this discussion. I didn't even read the banner. But to judge anyone against a bastard language called English is setting a pretty low bar. IMO
