Can I be first, Nancy ? I seem to remember from schooldays that it
is "mispelt".
Cheers. Graeme.

This is an odd discussion. I cannot imagine anyone defending spelling
errors in a mural commision for a library. Is this obvious, or what? =
There
is absolutely no defense for such mistakes in this situation, and the
library should have hired local artists to repair the mistakes. The =

who made the errors should not have been paid another dime.

Sheesh. I can't even spell "mispelt" correctly. It is, of course,
misspelt. Both misspelled and misspelt are correct - according to my 1906
edition of Webster's International Dictionary.
Cheers. Graeme.

Dear Graeme,
Misspell; misspelled not mispelt.
"When in doubt get out your dictionary". Headmasters admonishment to
me after misspelling consistently consistanly in the first set of
school reports I wrote.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
S. Australia.
