Now you have done it again...... is it 'looks as though you have learned something' or should it be 'looks as though you have learnt something' ? hmmmmm

Both the past tense and the past participle of 'to learn' can be written as either learned or learnt.

Ok. I thought 'learned' was more of an American term of phrase unless you were talking about a 'learned friend'. But you can always learn something

The most important thing to learn is that English ain't what it used to be! I am old enough to remember when words like selfie and babymomma didn't exist...
