Actually, "spelt" is a type of old fashioned grain used in old bread. To avoid confusion, modern people use "spelled". So you hate me now, hey? Like I care what an old geezer like you thinks of me.

"Modern people", lol. "Modern people" certainly don't know that spelt is a type of grain used in "old bread". And they often don't know how to spell either. Spelt is a perfectly acceptable word for the past tense of 'to spell' in Britain.

I don't hate you, little man. But you're really hard to like.

And I hate French spelling. Especially when the English use it.

"Labor Day" is a holiday in America. So it is NOT misspelled.

"Labour Day" is a holiday in most other English speaking countries, except England, curiously.

So why do they celebrate a day that the rest of the world celebrates over a day that the rest of the English-speaking world celebrates?
