Shop assistant wanted in East Dulwich

Actually, the most commonly promoted spelling is 'misspelt'. While I'm generally in favour of keeping the strong ending, here I don't like the resemblance to the grain spelt.

I mainly hyphenate because of the successive 's's, although I also like the little joke in that.

As you've pointed out:

• 'spelt' is a grain
  
• successive consonants, which are not hyphenated
  
  

Keep making the effort, and you'll get there in the end - 6.31/10
