The mute spelling is a development that has come about because moot is now a fossil word, usually encountered only in this phrase; there is an understandable tendency to convert the unknown into the known, and mute seems to fit the new meaning rather better, but it's wrong.
Having admitted that to Amos, I think we can close this issue?

I have never been to college or university. I left school at 15 and started my career at sea. By age 19 I was a Third Navigating Officer on a foreign going ship. I think it is fairly obvious I have since educated myself to a reasonable level of competancy in the English language, but make no claims to being an expert at it.

Yours, Aye. Dave
