Interesting business model, hopefully, they're not operating out of the trunk of their car.

Interesting that many here believe that they had better be on the up and up or they'll never make it. Explain Coach's Corner to me. Explain to me how they've been in business for decades now. The only thing the Battles did here that is any different from their ebay model is they cut out ebay and paypal. Good luck getting satisfaction.

There are many sites/posts that say I am not wrong, but thought you might like this one and the comments within.

Sorry to hear you got placed in the same group as me, Al. I wasn't intentional.

Slang and internet jargon promulgated by urban dictionaries are hardly a substitute for the king's English.

Although the word is recognized by the ultimate source authority, the Words With Friends Cheat as well as the contemporary Wikipedia, the definition provided is as follows

Spelt is dinkel wheat or hulled wheat. It is a type of wheat cultivated since 5000 BC. It was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age until medieval times. It survives as a relict crop and has recently found a new market as a "health food". The benefits of spelt are delineated below in this educational image

There is no second definition.

As a long standing member of the Net54 grammar police, I would suggest that you eat more spelt. Your colon will thank you and the other health benefits listed will serve you well.

With spelt's 7000 year history on the planet it is no wonder that your spellcheck overlooked your linguistic deficiencies.

Hopefully Barry Sloate, the grand poobah of the Net54 grammar police, will chime in with an endorsement of this post.

Be well and if you need some recipes to make spelt more palatable, feel free to contact me.

Having tried it, there's a good reason it was abandoned in medieval times. There are far better tasting yuppie/yoga chick/new age/gender neutral whole grains.

We're with Irv on this one. We've long dreamt of a renewed acceptance of "spelt."

They are probably operating out of Mama's kitchen
