Note
One spelling serves as both past forms, with the final t doubled before -ed, as in pat and patted. It carries every use of the verb: the intransitive impact (the balloon splatted against the glass), transitive spattering (she splatted paint across the wall), and the graphics programmer's sense. In that last use, textures are splatted onto one another through an alpha map, so lower layers show through where the map is transparent.
