according to the forums spell checker/dictionary [ Ubuntu ]the little red line underneath I think that's funny! maybe it should be added to the dictionary on the site.

It's a name so therefor has to be capitalized , Also it's "Spelled wrong" that was my impromptu spell checker btw.

doesn't matter if you capitalize it or not as you type your post it is still underlined as a mispelt word

Are you sure? If I capitalize it it's not marked as misspelled.

According to the Oxford Dictionary spelt is the "past and past participle of SPELL" although it gives "spelled" as an alternative.

actually, to expand on beesthorpe's quote, this is what i found in the dictionary: "chiefly British past and past participle of SPELL".
