No, it wouldn't. No doubt Harry can come with more examples of a 't' ending instead of an 'ed' ending, but there really aren't that many ('smelt' is the only other one that springs to my mind as relatively common).
Harry's example above of 'climbt' may be historically grammatically correct, but I doubt one person in a thousand (if that) in the UK at the moment would recognise it as such. It would not be considered correct grammar now IMHO.
