Spelt isn't a word
unless you're talking about the wheat species, and my grammar should be pretty keen. Go belittle someone else or stick your head in an oven. Some people are way too belligerent on this board.

Yes it is.
It's the past tense of "spell".
It doesn't even get underlined in red in this here text box I'm typing in. Spelt.

It's sure underlined in my text box. Spelt.

He wasn't being a fuckwit.
He told a dull OMGDRUGS story and didn't know that British English allows 'spelt'.

Not a fantastic contribution to the afternoon's entertainment, but not really fuckwittery either.

I think badger has had a bit too much orange squash and is getting over-excited.
