That made me laugh out loud, sionnach. Also, when I'd quieted down I thought, like Alphabetti Spaghetti, too.

Spelt pasta must be what they use to make alphabet soup.

Spelt is an ancient and lovely tasting grain in the wheat family. It makes a more crisp, dense bread, has less gluten than typical wheat. It is available as white or bleached flour or as a whole grain brown flour. Spelt pasta is also available.

Second note for posterity: yarb's right. It was a mere nanosecond.

Nonsense. Even if John were to pelt us with felt rather than a belt (to avoid leaving a welt), and if that happened on the veldt, the smelt would still have smelt as it always smelt and the spelt would have smelt as it always smelt. Although on the veldt, everything would melt, so the smelt might have smelt more than I felt it originally smelt.

But what if you were a Celt? *brain spinning*

On the Veldt.

I believe that the welts from the pelted belt (no longer felt) dwelt below the belt, where the pelt of wild bear was not protecting him, so the welt was more felt.

6 months ago uselessness said:

That all depends, of course, on where each welt dwelt. Were they svelte, or below the belt?

I'll wager the felt-dealt welt felt nothing like the belt-dealt welt felt.

6 months ago uselessness said:

What a blow that would have dealt!

6 months ago skipvia said:

It would have, had he used his belt instead of the felt.

6 months ago uselessness said:

Apparently, John felt the felt would leave a welt.

6 months ago John said:

I'm going to pelt you both. With felt.

Trying... to... parse...

Note for posterity: rt beat me by a nanosecond there. It's not like I came along an hour later and ripped him off shamelessly.

6 months ago yarb said:

I have smelt smelt, and I've spelt spelt, but I've never smelt spelt.

6 months ago reesetee said:

I've smelt spelt and smelt smelt, and I've always felt that spelt smelt better than smelt smelt. On the other hand, I've spelt spelt and I've spelt smelt, and I've always felt that smelt spelt better than spelt spelt.

But that's just me.

6 months ago sionnach said:

I have, however, spelt smelt.

6 months ago uselessness said:

I haven't. Is it dreadful?

6 months ago Asativum said:

Have you ever smelt spelt?

6 months ago uselessness said:

Not to be confused with smelt!

1) past tense of spell

2) dreadful-tasting wheat product
