With the qualifier "always," the answer has to be "wrong."

I reckon the word 'spelled' is incorrect in the topic heading..... I think it should be 'spelt'.

As some have indicated, there could be an 'Abbott and Costello' type dialogue associated with this.

Hey Abbott, could you check whether I spelled "wrong" right?

Yes, you spelled it "wrong".

I did? How do you spell it?

You spell it, "wrong".

But I thought I spelled it "wrong"!

You did!

Did what?

Spelled it "wrong"!
