Interesting little elucidation for misspelt v mispelled, burnt v burned etc.
I actually used misspelled as a joke.  I have never heard the word used- didn't think it existed.  We would always go with misspelt (if we could spell it corectly).
 
 In an old job of mine, we offered bread made of spelt, the grain. "How is that spelt, again?" was the running joke. And yes, it got old quickly.

"Misspoke" and its idiot cousin "misstatement" too. They won't be missed, at least not if our aim improves.

(edit:) Beanie excepted, of course.

Ironically enough, St Wiki of Google says:
 
 
"Tuna, are several species of ocean-dwelling fish in the family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus. Tunas are fast swimmers—they have been clocked at 70 km/h (45 mph)—and include several species that are warm-blooded. Unlike most fish species, which have white flesh, tuna have flesh that is pink to dark red. The red coloring comes from tuna muscle tissue's greater quantities of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding molecule. Some of the larger tuna species, such as the bluefin tuna, can raise their blood temperature above that of the water through muscular activity. This ability enables them to live in cooler waters and to survive in a wide range of ocean environments."
 
 
OK, not that relevant, but I like it as a world class piece of trivia.

Otherwise hello and goodbye, will stop for a dram when l can!

{#Arrowd}  Well, yes, I think you've got the hang of things in a roundabout way!
 
It's an old saying from my long lost student days, often used when ordering an inordinately hot curry 'cos our hormones told us to.
 
Although in this case it's one of Jimmy Tsangs' takeaways - much crisper, cleaner flavours than the average curry.
