Is English a “creole Language”?
"Spelled" is a perfectly cromulent word in UK English (the best English).

Interesting. I thought spelt and learnt were UK English.

They are UK English, but "spelled" and "learned" are in common usage too. I wouldn't consider it to be an Americanism if I read/heard those versions (I'm English, myself).
