Easy spelling word. Can't imagine spelling it any other way. I could, but the choices wouldn't look right.

Dictionary also gives cheloid. Wonder if judges would accept both.

Now that you've put it up, cheloid looks even better than keloid. Did you try keylloyd?

The chemical process of trapping heavy metal ions by glomming onto them and surrounding them by different molecules is called (and spelled) "chelation."

How was the original "crab claw" spelled in Greek? Kappa or chi?
