They taught me to use learnt as it is more "british" (and in our schools they teach british English): http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/learnt-vs-learned[^] Anyway I've reached a point in which when I write or speak I do it naturally and learning to improve/change ways is more difficult than before... so probably I'll continue using learnt... but yes, nice to know this :laugh:

How far into your ear does a pimple have to be for re-classification as a brain tumor? This thing hurts!

I feel you are doing the rest of his post a massive dis-service, there are many parts of that post that deserve recognition.

Learnt is definitely not wrong, if that's what you're trying to imply. In English English it's how everyone would say and write it, pretty much.

Round these parts it's pronounced learnt. Atlanta Georgia. Leastways by the people who were raised here. We also have ink pens and straight pins because both pen and pin are pronounced the same way.

That's a load of cobblers, that is. The gig's up: we know it's because "learnt" comes from the Germanic languages.
