I should've snapped a pick where a road worker down the street put the sticker over the wrong word, so instead of saying left lane closed or right lane closed, it said "RIGHT LANE LEFT."

Ah, Texas! How I love you so!

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spell Both are correct, but I think "spelt" is more common in British English.

UK: spelt. US: spelled. Not a hard rule, more preference.

They did a really good job with the shadows if that's the case. What makes you think it is shopped?

On that note, is there a final word on "spelt" and "spelled"? (Or misspelt/misspelled). Right now, Chrome is telling me that both of those spellings of "spelt" is wrong. I was taught it was incorrect, but is it?

Both are correct. Off the top of my head the US favours 'misspelled' and the UK 'misspelt'. Given it's a UK article, it fits. Same goes for burnt and burned. Personally I favour 'ed' over 't' but that's just me, despite the fact I'm Australian and we tend to base off UK English. I just prefer the sound.
