Hi, I just joined SDMB tonight and thought I’d make a test post.
and I’m smart enough to know how to spell the word signachur…
this is my test!
Hmmm…I never tried to do quotes before…here I go boldly into the unknown!
Well I always write “spelled”. But in the past when I tried persuading the kabbess that she was wrong to write “spelt” and looked in the dictionary to prove it, not only did I find that either spelling is correct, I found that “spelt” was down as the more usual choice!
That was in Chambers British English.
I offer Miriam-Webster’s, second definition:
So, kniz, I’m afraid that you owe Futile Gesture an apology, as did I to the kabbess all those moons ago.

I note too that according to Futile Gesture’s profile, (s)he* resides in the UK.
*checked the location, forgot to check the sex!
