Also, bomb wouldn't be "bom-beh." That's not even close to correct pronunciation. The correct pronunciation is "bomb." The B is subtle, but it's present.
I'm assuming that you are embarrassed because you don't know how to pronounce "our" as opposed to "or," which is obviously why you're angry enough to call me stupid.
Spelt and spelled are interchangeable, but thank you for your concern.
