When to use 'spilt' and when to use 'spilled'.

Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeellllllllllpppppppppppppppppp

They're interchangeable. Use which you like whenever you like. However,
some uses have become conventional, e.g. spilt milk not spilled milk,
but it really doesn't matter as long as it is comprehensible.

In much the same way as spelled and spelt are interchangeable.
