baulked or balked?????
We are trying to find (for a checklist) if its balked or a baulked (landing). Both seem to be acceptable?

Balked is American English spelling, baulked is British English spelling - no other difference.
Balked would be pronounced with a hard "a' in English, as in Malcolm. As the word is actually pronounced with a suppressed 'a' as in wall Baulked is the better spelling.
The chicken yard was populated with distraught clucking hens. Their incessant baulking was a result of the rooster being debalked....
