Misspelt vs. Misspelled

Both are valid: Misspelt @ reference.com, Misspelt @ wiktionary.org and Misspelled @ reference.com, Misspelled @ wiktionary.org.

Methinks misspelt is to misspelled as dreamt is to dreamed. --Macbeth 11:46, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)

I believe the preference exists due to better usage in writing an article, as i think it's better to say, "Kass dreamed of The Three as he slept", than, "Kass Dreamt of The Three as he slept" (or "that's a misspelled word" versus, "That's a misspelt word" in this case). That they are both proper words is without question, but that they make an article look better and more official is key. --Jacob 12:17, 7 Oct 2006 (CDT)
