In this increasingly global society, I don't think spelling differences really matter. I can enjoy a book even though the words are "spelt" instead of "spelled". I know what the author means. Same with all the "ize" and "ise" words. Doesn't inhibit my enjoyment one bit.
As for spelt, it's a type of flour. To be honest, I'd never heard of it before I found out I had to avoid gluten in my diet. Apparently, spelt is loaded with it.
