As a past tense for 'Spelling' then 'Spelt' is English and a wheat, 'Spelled' is American... sama sama as for 'Smelling" where 'smelt' (which is also a fish) and 'smelled' occur so I call it a draw :-)
EG "his claims smelt like Bullshit to us all" as opposed to "his claims smelled like Bullshit to us all" both mean the same thing depending on the grammatical roots of the audience.
(see how cleverly I avoided the hijack there)
