What is the difference between spilled and spilt?

'Spilled' is American-English, 'spilt' is British-English. This is the same with:Learned / LearntBurned / BurntSpelled / SpeltDreamed / DreamtKneeled / KneltLeaned / LeantLeaped / LeaptSpoiled / Spoiltetc....These are irregular verbs but the American use is an attempt to regularize them by adding the regular suffix 'ed'. In their normal form they are irregular and end 'nt', so technically the original British irregular use is correct.Simply though, if you're in America (or Canada?) use 'spilled', if you are anywhere else, especially Europe, use 'spilt'.I've always been told that spilt, burnt, etc, were adjectives, e.g. spilt milk, burnt toast. And that spilled, burned were the past tense of the verbs to spill and to burn. I'm American. God knows we don't necessarily speak the "King's" English all of the time.
